For me, it may be that the toilet paper roll needs to have the open end away from the wall. I don’t want to reach under the roll to take a piece! That’s ludicrous!
That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use “less” when they should use “fewer”
A simple one I think, I refuse to call twitter by other names.
I’ve never actually heard anyone call it X before, unless they were making a joke about the whole thing. Everybody I know still calls it Twitter. Calling it X is just embarrassing.
I do love, however calling it Xitter where X is pronounced “sh”
Like Xi Jinping. (Shi )
What a great example of Xi as in Xitter!
Wonder if Xi scrolls through Xitter on the xitter.
🤣
Is it? The voice in my head pronounced zshi when I read it.
I would say it’s pronounced closer to Cedar in this context (mandarin speaker)
Wikipedia says. ʒI: where “ʒ” is the S in pleasure or the g in beige
Which is to say (smoking my pipe like oxford don) I was making a scatological joke.
Shitter
That’s fine, it’s just hard to know without hearing native speakers’ pronunciations and you’ve only read it. Thanks for the reply!
Is it pronounced Ji? So Jitter
It has no other names.
X-Twitter is almost acceptable (ex-Twitter, not wrong)
Also liked when I read the other day “… Twitter, now called X, …”
hear hear!
It’s called Xitter now, pronounced shitter.
