How it has not caught on to call it Xitter (Shitter)... I don't know
Because starting with ‘X’ does not guarantee the ‘sh’ sound. See ‘xylophone’, ‘Xavier’, ‘Xenon’.
Xitter looks like ‘exiter’ to me.
Zitter to me, which is kinda gross
Shylophone, shaver, shenon...checksh out.
Xean Connery hates this simple trick.
What a great way to describe me at a party.
Zitter
I just call it "The website formerly know as Twitter".
