    It’s the official name so the news is obliged. Your brain can handle this detail I’m sure.

      Yeah, it’s just like when Prince changed his name. The media will just keep going “X, formerly known as Twitter” forever.

        Prince changed his name to an unprinteable character so they had no choice.

        As I recall, some of the media used the short form TAFKAP (the artist formerly known as Prince).

        As for xtwitter, I vote for FKT. Pronounced as a word.

          Close. He changed his name to a symbol. It was probably to get out of a recording contract, but the particular symbol he chose was non printable.
