I think this situation calls for a compromise in the form of a portmanteau, one which both preserves the link from the old to the new site as well as describing the direction of the change: Xitter ( using the pronunciation of letter X to mean 'sh,' as some languages do)
- ksaj 3y agoI prefer Xcreet, which starts with X and rhymes with tweet. I don't mind Xitter, since that's where a lot of people post from. But in English, X pretty much never sounds like sh, so it's a bit of a leap. I guess some Spanish words that start with X sound like sh. In Chinese, X is used for a sound that is almost an Sh sound. It's really not very common, I think.
