    I am wondering how everybody plans on pronouncing it.

    Tweet, as in social media.

    I haven't seen it spelt with a "d" at the end, but rather as "tvuít".

    I'd pronounce the initial sound a bit like the middle of Mittwoch (German work for Wednesday).

    So tveet, basically, instead of tweet.

    You are correct, my apologies.
