Sir, – It seems that a day doesn’t pass without some article in The Irish Times referring to social media posts “On X, formerly Twitter”. A recent example comes from “French-Malian singer at the centre of an Olympian storm” (Sport, March 29th).

Twitter rebranded in July 2023. It’s time to let it go. – Yours, etc,
PAT MULLEN,
