    I hope the verb “tweeted” dies soon. It sounds so childlike. “Posted” is a perfectly good word to describe publishing a message online.

    And the service isn’t even called Twitter anymore. I don’t want to live in a future where news anchors start saying a celebrity “X’ed” in response to this or that.

      I kinda just hope we all decide one day that the past tense of “tweet” is “twat”. Doubly so now that it would mean that legal documents about the most important political issue of my lifetime would now have to include the phrase “…DONALD JOHN TRUMP caused to be twat…”
