Sir, – I sympathise with Pat Mullen giving out about the articles in The Irish Times referring to social media posts “on X, formerly Twitter” ( Letters, April 1st). I still haven’t gotten over “the artist formerly known as Prince”, or spring onions, formerly known as scallions, or EY, formerly known as Ernst & Young, or Yusuf Islam, formerly known as Cat Stevens. – Yours, etc,
PATRICK O’BYRNE,
