Wouldn’t it be Horsemanning, not Horsemaning? The latter seems like it would be related to a horse’s mane, and I started mentalling pronouncing it with a long “a” sound.

I remember being confused about this the last time this came up. You’re right, of course, but the nature of hashtags often means that being technically correct is being alone.

It’s meant to be derived from The Headless Horseman, so I think either spelling would work? Though personally I feel like the single n version is more correct.
