People, please, it's "ex-twitter"
People, please, it's "ex-twitter"
I still don't get how - with such a perfect tee-up - we settled on "X, the platform formerly known as Twitter".
Besides, imagining Musks reaction to this tickles me slightly.
I still prefer to write it “xitter” pronounced as “shitter”.
59I still prefer to write "Twitter" because fuck X and Musk

I was taking that to be "zitter" like it's infected and probably should be seen by a professional otherwise it's going to leave a nasty mark.
7In Chinese pinyin x is a sh sound.

You know, you may have just changed my mind
5And there’s the issue. There are just too many good jokes to be had here.
The other half is that news organizations won’t let themselves place a joke over the appearance of objectivity, using the legally changed name of the company. The most they will do is add the parenthetical (formerly Twitter).
Journalists are wet blankets. What can you do?

😕 🤚 X, formerly known as Twitter
😎 👉 Xitter, pronounced as Shitter
54Didn't South Park call it Shitter first?
Scary how prophetic satire is
12I'll call it Twatter until the day I die

While it still says "twitter.com" in the SSL certificate, that's still it's name. It is still called Twitter.
31It is referencing Prince. He went by a symbol and people called him, The Artist (Formerly Known as Prince).

13The trouble with that is that it shows a certain amount of respect

I'll have to think about it, meanwhile I'll keep calling twitter, twitter.
13And it's owned by the X billionaire Elon Musk.
10Hopefully, he'll soon be an ex-billionaire.
5Honestly, I was just hoping it might help him realize how dumb X sounds to everyone else.

I’ve already posted this elsewhere but
7Site: Twatter. Users: Twats.
7i have a longing for the day when Twitter is bailed out because it's tOo BIg to fAiL
4I prefer "used-to-be-twitter." I think it captures the context better, and it's clunky, as it should be.
3Because ex-Twitter doesn’t get the same SEO as Twitter nor X.
2Why are we still talking about it? Yesterday's news, man.
