Â
I guess everyone who knows about Twitter, also knows that itâs now known as âXâ.
However, when people refer to âXâ, they often add: âFormerly Twitterâ or âPreviously Twitterâ.
Â
Itâs been 2 years since Elon Musk initiated the acquisition of American social media company Twitter, Inc. on April 14, 2022, which finally concluded on October 27, 2022.
Following Twitterâs change in ownership, MuskâŚ

Windows Spotlight presents me with a spring themed campaign, when itâs autumn here in the southern hemisphere:

Quite a statement Microsoft makes here, because none of this applies to me: not even that itâs springtime, let alone some kind of performance reviews around the corner.

Â
The whole X dilemma apparently comes from Elon Musk purchasing the x.com url back in the day and when buying Twitter he could finally put it to use.
Well then: Why does the url still use âtwitterâ?
If itâs meant to be âXâ, why does the url say âTwitterâ?

Rats make great pets!
On World Rat Day we celebrate how pet rats intuitively know their humans, show empathy, love, care and are always there to uplift the mood.

If you want your audience to read your content, start with the basics: Make it readable.

Unlike this example:

I cannot even read the grey font on the slightly lighter background.
My watermark is more prominent than their copy.

You can say what you want about design, if it doesnât follow function, it fails.

Grammar Nerd: Samsung fails 'trade-in' or 'trade in'.
#GrammarNerd #grammar #GrammarFail #BadGrammar #GrammarMatters #spelling #english #vocabulary #vocab #EasyEnglish #EnglishGrammar #EnglishSpelling #EnglishVocabulary #EnglishLanguage #EnglishTips
Whatâs the difference between âtrade-inâ and âtrade inâ?
A âtrade-inâ is a noun.
To âtrade inâ is a verb.
Â
Clearly Samsung is in need of some grammar lessons and hasnât done its homework:
Spot the grammar mistake: It is âto trade in your current deviceâ, without a hyphen, as clearly, it is used as a verb.
Â
In an erratic way Samsung swaps âtrade-inâ with âtrade inâ randomly at liberty instead ofâŚ

In celebration of the Springboksâ momentous achievement South Africa declares Friday the 15th of December 2023 as a public holiday.
A cheeky one, as the 16th of December is already a public holiday for the Day of Reconciliation, but this year it falls on a Saturday, which means South Africans would miss out on a day off. Allowing the 15th of December 2023 as a public holiday, gives back thisâŚ

Â
When I see a repetition of design, in my mind pops: A glitch in the matrix!
Twitter presents us with two X:
One slightly bigger X directing to âHomeâ at the top, and
One slightly smaller x further down linking to âSubscribeâ.
And then there are more X, but those are just the ones we always used to use to close a window.

Coercion into paying for a subscription everywhere, including FOMO inducing clickbait about making money.

Itâs also the harsh black from that X rebranding which looks so in your face daunting I expect the button to say âOrder coffin nowâ instead of âSubscribe todayâ.
