This reminds me of how, until just a few years ago (as late as 2016), people were wondering why you couldn't tweet the phrase "Get better". It turned out that you can't tweet any phrase that begins with "Get" because... you guessed it, posting tweets from the web interface still shared backend code with the SMS-based system[0]. So it would interpret "Get foo" as an API request to fetch tweets, not a tweet itself. [0] Twitter was originally designed to work on dumbphones! You could text your tweet to 40404 and it would post for you, or you could fetch tweets by saying "GET chimeracoder" and it would fetch the latest tweets from user @chimeracoder.
