“And while this Coronavirus hysteria was shacking the world, tech giant stocks were rising.”

Shacking the world? Are there no editors anymore?

Actually, it’s a pretty appropriate slip, if it was a slip at all.

Shacking: To live, room, or stay at a place.

Spell check has become the only editor on a LOT of posts.

I am sure the author originally meant “shackling”. Rookie mistake.

But sometimes great truths are revealed in apparent Freudian slips of the typing process.

Turning the entire world into a third-world “shack” also works.
