    If I hear someone use "X" as an object, verb or subject, I will tell them to "X" themselves.

        Change for the sake of change. No substance, no practical use. It's a perfect metaphor for Twatter. :-D

          At least birds 'tweet' to interact with the world, so it has a parallel. Nothing in the world I know of 'X's, except as a metaphor for closing or death (or a stupid shortcut for Xmas :rolleyes: ). I take that back - maybe 'X' is a good renaming after all! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

            Twitter -> tweet --< twit. and we all know the definition of twit. As I said, the entire thing is silly.

              FWIW, here's a great X...at least I like it! :) Ineresting note: the album was funded by pre-orders. Those who pre-ordered have the honor of hearing their names in one of the tracks. IMHO, a great album cover to cover. X (Spock's Beard album) - Wikipedia[^]

                            I thought "tweet(ing)" was juvenile from day one, and it has never crossed my lips.
