If you’re one of the 275,000 people who follows Israeli model Bar Refaeli on Twitter, you might occasionally catch yourself looking to see how she handles her adoring and sometimes not-so-adoring followers.

I stumbled across her interaction with a follower who tried to correct her grammar after Refaeli sent word that the Israelis men’s double tennis team had defeated Roger Federer and the Swiss team at the Olympics. I thought her response was worthy of attention.
