  It’s such a stupid name! Everytime it’s mentioned, it has to be prepend or suffixed with something so people actually understand the “X” context.

  And more importantly - If you visit x.com, it redirects to twitter.com! So what’s the fucking point of the rebrand?

    Obviously. Some people say trump should run a social media platform. More and more.

  Until he stops allowing deadnaming on his site, I’m going to deadname his site.

  Xitter, but the X makes a ‘sh’ sound.

    To the Mayan people X makes a ‘sh’ sound. That’s the way I pronounce it. Now and forever.

      In Portuguese, too. And most other languages from Iberia*. And “x” is typically so rare in other orthographies that, for Portuguese speakers, rendering “x” as /ʃ/ (the “sh” sound) is almost automatic, so the first time that I saw “Xitter” I couldn’t stop laughing.

      *with one exception: modern Spanish. And by “modern” I mean past the 17th century, because before that it was /ʃ/ in Spanish too. That’s where the Maya languages got that spelling convention from.

      (Sorry for the off-topic.)

    I’ve seen “xeet” from people outside of Twitter. Not sure what an X person would say. It’s pronounced “shit” or “sheet”.
