For the first couple years of Twitter’s existence, when someone posted a message on Twitter, they were said to have “tweeted.” I’ve never been a huge fan. But, that verb worked for me.

It is amazing how fast things change in this new world. It is amazing how new terms get adopted. Finally, it is amazing that the adoption of new terms starts with media folks who are lazy, misinformed, uninformed, stupid, and in spite of their livelihoods, think little about language.

Here’s the beef: Seems few are saying “tweeted” these days. The new term for “tweeted” is “tweeted OUT.” It sounds stupid. It is unnecessary. But, it is the thing now. What does appending the word “out” to this term add?
