     @evan See, this is the problem with Musk's decision to give the site the same name as a standard variable. When I first read your poll, I thought you were asking "X" as in "some thing", where I had to fill in the thing. Then as I read further I backtracked and re-analyzed to revise my original understanding. Not your fault, of course. But I'm still going to call it "Twitter", in part because no matter how rich someone is they don't get to overload 1/26th of my native alphabet, and in part because of the previously described confusion, which is inevitable and which I will no doubt experience again.
