@hananc @marcoarment

He's a dedicated swallower of fascism.

@marcoarment only if I can keep calling it the iPhone Ecks

@marcoarment who knew he was such a big fan of Pearl Jam 🤷🏻‍♂️

@marcoarment
Maybe we should just not pronounce it at all, like in faux or roux.

If we don't say it, maybe the language will shift and people will stop using it.

@marcoarment and instead of tooting, etc, how about tending? Tensing up also feels like what you might be doing whet you read ten

@marcoarment This will go down as one of those truly brilliant internet identity ideas, such as Rakuten, which bought BUY.COM and decides to keep Rakuten.com. Or CenturyLink buys Qwest (which owned Q.com) and stays with CenturyLink.com so we can type 11 letters rather than one. Probably just wanted to sell the domain names.

@marcoarment
X is like a toddlers autograph...

@marcoarment 🎶 “And if you’re into Ten, you can follow them at…” 🎶

@marcoarment I can’t, having a TenBox Series Ten is already confusing enough.

@marcoarment It's pronounced as 'Ix'. We all know how the Ixians ended.

@marcoarment as for me, I'm gonna pronounce it "twitter"

@marcoarment I'm pronouncing it "eggs" still bird related, sounds almost exactly like X. Makes me wonder if there was a miscommunication behind the scenes.

@marcoarment there is no way it is a ten, more like 0.3 out of 10.

@marcoarment People look at me funny when I pronounce Xcode Ten-Code.

@marcoarment /x/ the "Voiceless velar fricative Company™" (or "kh" for short.)

@marcoarment Works for me! I’ve been calling the Subaru XV the Fifteen for years.

@marcoarment as a professional singer, I plan to use the voiceless velar fricative / x / or the voiceless postalveolar fricative / ʃ / , or the voiced postalveolar fricative / ʒ / .

@marcoarment I thought it was pronounced “kshhhhh”, like a cymbal crashing on the floor.
