Another semi-regular reminder to double-check your work

Here’s a (now-deleted) tweet that the White House put out on Friday:

The bigger you are, and the bigger your audience is, the more you need to double-check your work. In the age of ubiquitous computing, spell-check should be a given.

This tweet also needs fact checkingthe economic turnaround that the tweet claims is dubious at best, and an outright lie (not surprising, considering the source) at worst — but the tweet’s purpose was propaganda, not imparting information.
