[Xitter] just announced a smart TV app for streaming video. Or, more accurately, that it claims it's building one, with absolutely no launch date mentioned. The appropriately-named [Xitter] TV wants to be “your go-to companion for a high-quality, immersive entertainment experience on a larger screen.”

How is the X in xitter pronounced? Is it "sh" like in Xi? This seems to fit this time line, but it would be nice to have confirmation.

Yes Sh sound is absolutely what is generally meant. Making it shitter.

Is a tweet now a sheet…on the shitter?

[–] Buffalox 3 points 10 months ago

That would make sense. 😋

English is a descriptive language instead of prescriptive, so make it happen!

In my head, it's more like Zitter

That's how I use it. And it works.

Justin on MBMBAM recently talked about a "Xeet" instead of a tweet, pronounced "Zeet" and I thought that was also hilarious.
