>Xitter

Is that pronounced "shitter"?




skitter -- the leading X should be pronounced as the reverse of the trailing X. Xylophone, xenon, xray.


Twitter is actually pretty great


Yes - like Xiaomi :)


Exactly >:3c


now that makes sense. It's a place to post whatever "shit" you have on your mind.


more like 'zhitter', but zhi/shi are basically the same.


I thought the sound transliterated as zh was more of a hard 'j', vs the 'sh' of the sound transliterated as x?
