No, that's definitely how it's pronounced.

No you've got it right.

u/tayawayinklets 1d ago

You pronounced it correctly. Xit-ter = Shit-ter. It sounds the same as Xi Jinping - Shee Jin-Ping.

Example: The Xitter man is working closely with Xi Jinping to use cheap Chinese labor and lax health and safety regulations to manufacture cheaper EV fire starters.

The X is pronounced like Sh in China iirc. Probably a similar looking character tho

‘X’ in Mandarin is between an ‘S’ and a ‘Sh’, I can’t pronounce it properly though so ‘Sh’ is close-ish… in Basque, Portuguese, and Maltese it’s sometimes pronounced as ‘Sh’, and in old Spanish iirc.

I saw other people spelling it like X itter or X-itter or somesuch. Seems way simpler to do this. And just imagine if it catches on. He'll fucking hate it. "Zitter" Pretty much the opposite of his cool, futuristic (for the 90's) "X" which rhymes with sex and if he played football he wore number "69" in high school, because there was ALWAYS that guy (in my school his name was Remo and he was actually pretty funny, but that's beside the point), where was I? Oh ya. Elon sucks.

I used to just say X because it was full of Xperts spewing Xcrement, but I like shitter better.

u/gleep23 1d ago

I spell it with a h, Xhitter, to make sure people understand it is "shitter"

"Shitter" is the correct pronunciation, and an accurate description.

u/ECH0_ROME0 1d ago

Misspelled correctly I think.
