“One gentleman thought the whole an X-ellent joke.

Another said that, indeed, Musk had shown much X-uberance of fancy.

A third admitted him X-entric, but no more.”

I've been calling them Xcreets because it rhymes with tweets, and ties into Elon's automated use of the poop emoji.

It’s still called “retweet” on the iOS app though. Even though I understand they cannot go exactly together since the mobile app has an approval process before it goes online, I’d like for web and mobile to have the same copywriting

The web still says Retweets too. I'm not sure what this post is showing.

Sure they can do it - scheduled releases are possible: https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/manage-yo...

They just decided to YOLO the change without coordination or waiting for all parts to be available, so we've got this messy "random things as they become available" process.

Therefore, a post on X is apparently a “post”.

Could go with "rex", as in "re-X" but pronounced with one syllable.

Interesting why I don't see that. Maybe regional.
