X? Oh, you mean Twitter?
I noticed that my brain is automatically doing the translation now from X -> Twitter. I would however prefer that we continue referring to it as Twitter
I read X like in "he who cannot be named". People use that name because they don't want to use Twitter, but we know it is Twitter. You won't change my mind.
I associate X with the X.org display manager, wondering what a display manager would need a government I'd to authenticate me for.
I will also accept something like TwitX
