- madcaptenor 3y agoJournalists seem to talk about "X, the service formerly known as Twitter" or similar - I guess they have to call the company by its official name but also want people to know what they're talking about
- harshalizee 3y agoIn the end, it has the same result as "the artist, formerly known as Prince".

- datavirtue 3y agoIf I were writing about it as a journalist I would just refer to it as Twitter.com.
- moffkalast 3y agoSome call it Xitter (/shiˈtter/).
- tivert 3y ago> Some call it Xitter (/shiˈtter/). Shouldn't that be pronounced Kitter or Chitter?
- digging 3y agoNo? The only official pronunciation of X in English is "ks", and there are many languages that use X for many different sounds. Shitter is appropriate, I think some Spanish dialects might read it that way.
- madcaptenor 3y agoI don't think X as "sh" in Spanish exists (but I could be wrong). But Mandarin as transcribed in pinyin has it. Also in English x is pronounced as z at the beginning of some Greek-derived words like Xerox and xylophone.
