How about we agree to call X/Twitter as Xitter. It avoids the confusion.
Nope. I'm calling it Twitter. If he says it's okay to deadname trans people on his platform, I'm going to deadname his platform.
Fine, but for those that call it X, there is Xitter as a better option.
There is like one dude trying to call it x.
Haha. Good one.
I find it particularly funny to call it X(formerly twitter) every time I have to mention it.
Also kind of love how Dubious X is as a name cause I always think it's a porn site before my brain clicks
Yup and tweets as xeets pronounced as "shits".
I would pronounce that "sheeeeeiittts"
Fun fact, the greek far right, anticommunist group during WW2 and after were called "Χίτες"(Chites)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organization_X
Here's the summary for the wikipedia article you mentioned in your comment:
The Organization X (Greek: Οργάνωσις Χ; commonly referred to simply as X ("Chi" in Greek), and members as Chites (Χίτες)) was a paramilitary right-wing anti-communist royalist organization set up in 1941 during the Axis occupation of Greece. Initially an anti-Axis resistance organization, it gradually shifted its focus towards anti-communism. In 1951, X was officially recognized as a National Organization of Internal Resistance by the Greek Ministry of National Defense. Following the end of the Axis occupation, it played an active role in the persecution of communists during the White Terror and various military operations of the Greek Civil War, most notably the Dekemvriana.
