The worst part, in my opinion, is that people fell for it. Instead of hearing a split second two syllable "twitter", we now keep hearing "X, formerly known as twitter".

That's 8 syllables. You just gave 4x free advertisement for absolutely no good reason. You're the sucker.

I like to shorten it to ex-twitter. Pun intended of course.
