Deadnaming Twitter and the Gulf of Mexico is praxis
For Twitter. Off the charts very cool.
There is a new name for twitter?
ex-twitter.
Also know as “Xitter” (pronounced “shitter”)
Or alternatively, “Zit-ter” if in polite company.
I don’t care if Sears doesn’t even exist anymore, it’s the Sears Tower.
Bit off topic but I kind of respect IBM for sticking with their same logo since 1972!
Lucky Strike cigarettes have had essentially the same packaging since 1942.
On this topic, I want to give a shout out to the Chicago Bulls for having the exact same logo since 1966. It’s a great logo and I appreciate that they haven’t changed it at all.
There’s a very obvious business reason why though.
Is there? Most NBA teams change their logos every now and then.
It’s Michael Jordan.
If inanimate objects, areas, websites, or concepts anthropomorphized and told us their preferred name then I’d respect it. People with feelings get to decide their own name, the rest do not
Yes, also apps … because people still understand it when I say fuck Twitter.
I still say Burma (fuck the military dictatorship).
Burma
If it was from the zoo… it would have PROPERTY OF THE ZOO STAMPED ON IT
It was a tough seven years when people called him Prince instead of just saying Ƭ̵̬̊
Did he ever even mentioned how you’d pronounce that symbol in speech? Also: I remember everyone calling him “the artist formerly known as Prince,” in an attempt to try and respect his name change.
Sports teams?
I’m fond of the Washington football team
Apparently in the US they have some old teams used to have racist af names.
Used to*
Still do
But used to too!
I’m fond of the Washington football team moniker, I feel they should’ve become the warthogs, could’ve even tied in military sponsorship the NFL loves so much with the a-10
Idk. I’ve never followed US sports. (I prefer the type of football where you kick a ball with your foot, not wear transformers suits and bang into each other)
You mean soccer? The term coined by the English before it replaced what we called football over here?
I mean what most of the world except america and australia call football.
this thread is so cringe lmao
Hihi. I’m here for it
Kind of funny to try to dunk on the US for using the “wrong” term and then dunk on yourself by calling the US “America”
It’ll always be the Millennium Dome to me.
Gulf of Acrisure
The Mexican Heinz

You should probably illustrate your point with a meme where refusing to use a new name for a stadium is very cool.
Aint no way we can deadname twitter

I don’t care what brand name they change it to, the stadium in San Jose will always be “The Shark Tank” to me.
