How is the X in xitter pronounced? Is it "sh" like in Xi? This seems to fit this time line, but it would be nice to have confirmation.
Yes Sh sound is absolutely what is generally meant. Making it shitter.
Is a tweet now a sheet…on the shitter?
That would make sense. 😋
English is a descriptive language instead of prescriptive, so make it happen!
In my head, it's more like Zitter
That's how I use it. And it works.
Justin on MBMBAM recently talked about a "Xeet" instead of a tweet, pronounced "Zeet" and I thought that was also hilarious.
