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

            I've been with CP for over 20 year snow and it's a great place and about as social as I get. No Twitter, no Faceslap (or whatever it's called now), no Instagram, no TikTok, no SnapChat (don't even know what the hell it is).

              and Tweet is sooooo much better. not. :laugh: Both terms are silly and foolish. The whole things is silly and foolish. To think, that after thousands of years of existence and evolution, humankind has come to Tweets and X's. Shoot me now. :sigh:

                                I kinda liked "tweet" because it made light of the whole social media scene. I say tweet without shame.

                                      Do no forget your coat on the way out... :rolleyes: ;P :-D

                                      M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

                                        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:

                                        The "X" is "Xmas" is the Greek letter chi. "Christ" in Greek is "Χριστός."
