Twitter – Why Certain Phrases Cannot Be Tweeted

twitter

Why can I not tweet

M as in Mancy

I've tried on mobile and desktop, is there something wrong with that specific phrase? I know you can include that phrase in other tweets and it will work, but that phrase by itself (without spaces or other alterations) is untweetable.

Best Answer

On Twitter,

M [username] + message

or

D [username] + message

sends that person a Direct Message that goes to their device, and saves in their web archive.

Examples:

d krissy want to pick a Jamba Juice for me while you're there?

or

m krissy wanna pick up a Jamba Juice for me while you're there?

performs the same action. So that's why your phrase can't be tweeted.
