Twitter can't even celebrate Independence Day without misspelling the hashtag
Nothing quite says "America in 2018" quite like celebrating Independence Day on Twitter with a misspelled trending hashtag.

Among those that have used the wrong hashtag on this patriotic holiday are the U.S. Air Force, the city of Boston, the Canadian Space Agency, and First Lady Melania Trump because of course.
Credit where it's due: Melania at least caught the mistake and replaced the tweet with the correct spelling.

Just not at spelling. pic.twitter.com/bR0AGP34pt— Kaz Weida (@kazweida) July 4, 2018
To be fair, Twitter seems to be autofilling the misspelled hashtag, "#IndependanceDay," which means all it really takes to spread this is a few misspellings, some carelessness and BOOM! You've got yourself a facepalm stew.
That didn't stop the schadenfreude, though.
Oh, America, you've actually successfully gotten #IndependanceDay trending and nobody in the thread is noticing that "independence" IS SPELLED WRONG.
