  • If we say that the accepted pronunciation of “X” is “ex” then we run into an even bigger problem than Prince’s logo.

    “Ex” User says… Is this a former user of the website or current?

    A user on the website “ex” is too long winded and sounds like I’m saying a hypothetical.

    Users on “ex” - although shorter, X is a street name for ecstacy and user is sometimes used as shorthand for drug user (e.g. User and abuser) so why should we be listening to a cracked out party kid?

    The golden ticket is “formerly Twitter” because we actually know what the fuck that one is.

    I’m willing to bet there’s at least one X user on X right now.
