Elon wants them referred to as Xeets and most people pronounce an x with an sh sound. So I believe they must be pronounced as “Sheets” and therefore we all need to argue if “Tweeted” should be “Sheeted” or if it should be “Shat”, and if a retweet is a “ReShat” or a “ReShit”.

I think of it as a Z sound when it’s at the start of a word, like xenophobe or xylophone.

Who pronounces x with an sh sound? Where would that sound even be? I only know it as “ex”.
