That's for a name. Using a single letter for everything destroys the namespace.

Please don't use words like "namespace", they aren't real.

There's a good case for "X, the stupid new name for Twitter"
MrPug
How about "X, not the thing you click on to close the tab?"
Dana Decker
Hmm. Did you use Dominion election technology to, um, get that obviously incorrect result?
How many dead people voted?
What about the suitcase of ballots under Kevin's desk?
And there are reports a semi-truck from Michigan stopped at his house at 3 am when some very suspicious boxes were dropped off.
I think it's time to get the Cyber Ninjas on the case.

Why keep calling it Twitter when that is not the name any longer? If Elon wants to confuse everyone with the name "X", why not do it? Nobody will know what you're talking about and that seems to be exactly what Elon wants.
jeffreycmcmahon
The whole point is to deny Elon what he wants.

Okay, that's at least as good as "Xitter".

Can we at least agree that we’ll give names in ways that feel good to us, regardless of how others actually wish to be called?

This is AOK for the purposes of making it clear who we do and don't respect with all the consequences that follow. I don't respect Elon Musk, for all manner of very good reasons, therefore I have no hesitation in not adopting his new, stupid name for the site. If you don't want to respect actual human beings, who might be changing their names for legitimate and personal reasons, as a result of petty anxieties of your own , by all means go ahead and tell us all about it.

Well, Jeffrey, you’re very good at shooting from the hip and reading what you wish to read. But I got my answer: you call people as you wish to call them based on “petty anxieties”, and not because of any inherent dignity they might possess.

I refuse to accept the results of this rigged “election”! You’ll be hearing from my lawyers, Powell and Giuliani, in short order.

No Sidney?

Guess I meant Cheseboro but Sidney just drew me towards her…

I use X.
I X'd at a company about a bug in a game and they responded to my X with an X telling me they were working on the bug and try a workaround. I did, sent an X thanking them.and wishing them luck in fixing the issue.
Xitter….it works well
And intead of tweets, you drop xits.
