OK, sometimes you get a small opportunity to change the world. And in this case, only the crickets can offer their “chirp, chirp”. 🙂 That’s them saying, “uh, you did something? Sorry, no one noticed.” 🙂
I’m a recent Twitter convert and I just got off a recent binge. Feel free to follow me at @MattPenner if you so desire.
Anyway, I made a typo in one of my tweets. It, of course, caused me to re-tweet with a correction. So, my off-topic mind asked the question, “what is a typo called in Twitter?”
If you don’t know, there are several coined terms in the world of Twitter. For instance a Tweet is a message in Twitter and Twiterature is when you give quotes from literature on Twitter.
So, what is a typo in a tweet called? It turns out there isn’t a name for it. So, in all trumpets and fanfare (there are those crickets again!) I added Twitch to the list:
Twitch – When you tweet a typo causing you to tweet a correction before getting a load of replies.
