      ‘Retent’ actually sounds pretty cool. It ‘retains’ the visibility of the ‘Tent’ by ‘Tenting’ it again…

      …Yeah that’s still never getting anywhere nearly as iconic as a tweet.

        Elon wants them referred to as Xeets and most people pronounce an x with an sh sound. So I believe they must be pronounced as “Sheets” and therefore we all need to argue if “Tweeted” should be “Sheeted” or if it should be “Shat”, and if a retweet is a “ReShat” or a “ReShit”.

          I think of it as a Z sound when it’s at the start of a word, like xenophobe or xylophone.

          Who pronounces x with an sh sound? Where would that sound even be? I only know it as “ex” and maybe “z” when it is the first letzter.

      Much better than any combination I could think with X, specially pronunciationwise.
