It is amazing how ignorant we have become as a country. Tens of thousands of people have used the hash tag without noticing that it is spelled incorrectly. Just one more example of what direction the United States is heading in. Trump tweeted this morning that the country is doing "great". I disagree. People can't even spell the name of today's holiday.

Obama once pronounced "Marine Corps" as "Marine Corpse."

LOL. They are all stupid, that is why they have a huge staff telling them what to do.

I think people are going back to spelling things the way they sound.
I have seen quite a number of misspellings on the web and it gets worse with all of these hashtags (now is that one word or two?)

Whoever started this hashtag must have been dancing at the time...
But in all seriousness, this is a major national holiday, so you'd think people would spellcheck before hash tagging something.

Autocorrect or just a disregard for spell check?

Okay you opened up for this one!
Its the schools fault! The teachers did not teach our children how to spell, so are we hiring incompetent people to teach our children?
