As news breaks of the death of Margaret Thatcher, some on Twitter get the wrong end of the stick…
#nowthatchersdead I’m not sure if it’s Now That Cher Is Dead or Now Thatcher Is Dead. Lol

I keep getting mixed up and thinking that the #nowthatchersdead says "Now That Chers Dead"

Not even former stars of Desperate Housewives were safe from the whirlpool of misinformation and rumour.
Everyone CALM DOWN :D RT @KaliKaliAnkhen: Cher and Teri Hatcher are FINE, FYI #nowthatchersdead

Among the particularly confuddled were fans of One Direction (bless).
RIP Baroness Thatcher .x

Final word. Appropriate.
Some people on Twitter think Cher's dead because of #nowthatchersdead hashtag. We give up on humanity.
