'Xitter' is pronounced 'Shitter' and is common a playful joke
Ah I see. I would pronounce it "Zitter" but fair enough. I guess if you're Chinese?
English doesn't really have a well defined way to write down the "zjush" from the "su" in pleasure.
The most accepted ways are "zh" or "x" in English, or
ʒ
in IPA.Since most people call it twitter, and Elon want to call it x, so people push them together to make xitter, because it sounds like "shitter" (the crude term for toilet) and because the quality of twitter has declined dramatically to the point that it resembles an unclean toilet.
Interesting. I think zjitter would be the closest I would intuitively pronounce that way.
I don't really know anything about the quality of X but I think resorting to name calling is insanely. (Some with Micro$oft etc. - haven't seen that one for a while!)
