Xitter ! love it, now lexicon
Usage: Can’t wait to watch Xitter (pronounced Zit - ter) pop after Musk wrecks the train.
Could we please pronounce it was "Shitter"? Thanks.
I already thought that that was the agreed update pronunciation.
The other pronunciation is "Zitter."
My very limited exposure to Chinese makes me read it as shitter
Fair enough, but I'll go with mine anyway.
IIRC the letter X in Portuguese is also pronounced as "schiss". So Xitter makes a lot of sense to me.
My exposure to English gives xylophone, xenon, xerox, xenograft. Sounds like Z at the start of a word.
I get you like it to be shit, which takes ages to decompose. I'd rather it pop like a zit and be gone, and with the current trajetory, that would not surprise.
