Last year, when my wife (girlfriend at the time) heard I was using Twitter for work and personal life, she almost broke up with me!! (not really) She would say, &#8220;I don&#8217;t want you doing anything involving &#8216;ee.&#8217; &#8230;tweets, peeps, tweetup, tweeps, tweeter, mistweet, tweeple, tweading&#8230;etc&#8221; She was disgusted!
