Is the world going to have to agree on a new generic variable/placeholder name, just because of Twitter...

I think X on its own should never be Twitter, it should always be referred to as x.com to eliminate any ambiguity.



> it should always be referred to as x.com

I vote on "the website previously known as Twitter".


How about just "X Twitter", as in "ex Twitter"?


I'm tickled that "Xitter" is gaining traction. Use the Chinese pronunciation of X.


How about TWPKAT? It looks a bit like twat


In CS, foo, bar, and baz are those metasyntactic variables.


"How can we get a 10y improvement here?"
