Twitter is Evil
The Bloggess (h/t: Robb Alllen) has the proof. Meanwhile, I’d like a little grammatical help from you, the reader. Which of the following is the most appropriate past tense for tweet?
- twate
- twote
- tweeten
- twitten
- tweetered
- [Censored]
- Other (specify)

#3 “tweeten” is verb present tense
#7 “tweeted” would be past tense

Surely it must be “tweeted.”

I think twat, like shat, is the most appropriate.

Sent a Twitter message.
(I refuse to use any form of the word “tweet.”)

She will tweet, she tweets or she is tweeting, she tweeted. The others I’ve only seen in quizzes. Not being a twitterer, though, I could be wrong. Why are they twitterers rather than twits?

Personally, I like “twote.”
