You don’t twitter, do you.
In everyday life I have never heard anyone utter such nonsense within earshot. But it’s pervasive in media and common on college campuses in especially progressive enclaves. I don’t think it’s a majority of students or even faculty, but what the students and faculty lack in numbers they make up for in magnitude of cringe and volume. I’m not saying it’s a prevailing attitude. I’m saying it’s really, really stupid. And it’s spreading.
I was always of the belief that it wasn't a coincidence that "tweet" and "twit" and some other word shared similarities.
