… Sonja from Sweden — the latest citizen curator of the official @Sweden Twitter account — who last week twitted out some controversial questions and comments on a certain subject that have spurred me to share a short soliloquy about schmutz.
I can’t use the verb (or noun) "tweet" unless we're talking about birds. Call your
service Tweeter if you want “tweets” to be "tweeted”. If it's Twitter, the gerund is either "Twittering" or the backwards formation "twitting" and the messages are Twits. Since Twitter and other social-media platforms that encourage short bursts of prose or graphics are considered "microblogging" that would make the entries "microposts".
All I know is that I just refuse to say "tweet".
Where was I? Oh, right... This:
This was sent out under the aegis of the actual country of Sweden. It was not any random little Twit from a random little twit. Sweden, in a grand experiment with vox populi democracy or individualism or whatever, has been handing over the official Twitter feed of the nation to a different Swede every week. Sonja is a young Swedish woman who seems to think that Jews as well as a select number of sneaky non-Jew decoys have multiple penises.
