Everyone says possum.
"I ran over a possum."
"There's a possum on the porch."

It does not mean that a private entity cannot restrict your speech. So, if DCUM or X or Facebook kicks you off for offensive speech, it’s not a violation of the First Amendment.
This a million times. I am always stunned by how many people don’t understand this.

This is a real pet-peeve of mine. I live in a small town where we have a slogan that a local painter painted onto a wall that welcomes people into town. The slogan has been there for years, but I'm not sure if anyone has ever played close attention to it because there's an apostrophe missing in the slogan that to me is a glaring error.
