@chiz X is so easy to search in internet. So many results; it gets never boring! Very unique name and brand.

Spez: Write it down, write it down! Let's rename Reddit to Z! Employee: Why Z? Spez: What do you mean why? Does X make any sense to you too? Employee: All right, I should have never questioned you.

It's like B, C, D, V, R in programming.... If Reddit took X++ and someone else took X#, the unsearchable name trifecta would be complete!

What's V? I don't see it on the list. X++ is already taken, though... but I see a huge potential in Y*.

V. There is also Vale, which was originally named VLang.

I don't remember exactly what it is, all i remember is there's a unix-like operating system written in it

Z, because the "Spe" was just an afterthought this whole time....

pardon me... I have been laughing so hard reading this thread, it was the best I could come up with! 😂
