Retweeting without checking the source can spread misinformation quickly.
Note
The -ing form does two jobs. In the progressive it carries ongoing action (she was retweeting all night). As a gerund it names the act and can still take a direct object, as in retweeting announcements. Keep it apart from the reposted message itself, which is a retweet, not a retweeting. The plural spelling, retweetings, belongs to the countable noun.
