have twitter (have Twitter / have twittered)

Short answer

Don't write "have Twitter" to mean "posted on Twitter." Use a verb: tweeted (most common), twittered (rare/stylistic), or the clear phrase posted on Twitter. Capitalize Twitter only when it's the platform name.

Twitter (capital T) = the platform or company.
tweet/tweeted or twitter/twittered = verbs (lowercase) meaning to post.
For formal clarity, prefer "posted on Twitter."

Core explanation: noun vs. verb

"Twitter" names the app or company: you open Twitter, have a Twitter account, or follow someone on Twitter. To describe the action of posting, use a verb: tweeted, twittered, or posted on Twitter.

If you can replace the phrase with "posted on Twitter" and the sentence still makes sense, don't use "have Twitter."

Platform = Twitter (capitalized). Action = tweeted/twittered/posted (lowercase).
Preferred: tweeted (modern, common). Use twittered only for a deliberate, older-tone effect.

Grammar: tense, participles, and capitalization

Use regular verb forms: tweet, tweets, tweeted, tweeting. For present perfect, say have/has + tweeted. Capitalize Twitter only when it names the platform.

Present perfect: I have tweeted / She has tweeted.
Simple past: I tweeted / She twittered.
Gerund/participle: tweeting (not Twittering).

Wrong: She has Twittered three times today.
Right: She has tweeted three times today.

Real usage: when to say tweet vs. twittered vs. posted

Match tone and audience. Use tweeted for casual messages, posted on Twitter for formal or business writing, and twittered only if you want a slightly old-fashioned or literary tone.

Casual: I tweeted it.
Professional: We posted an update on Twitter.
Journalism: The organization tweeted that...

Action = verb (tweet/tweeted/posted). Place = Twitter (capitalized). When unsure, default to posted on Twitter for formal writing and tweeted for casual messages.

Quick rule: Action? → tweet/posted. Place? → Twitter (capital).
Prefer tweeted for casual, posted on Twitter for formal.
Example fix: "I have Twitter the photo" → "I tweeted the photo" or "I posted the photo on Twitter."

Hyphenation and spacing notes (why they don't fix this mistake)

Hyphens or odd spacing don't change a noun into a verb. Forms like have-Twittered or have Twittered are punctuation attempts that don't correct word class or capitalization.

Wrong fix: have-Twittered - hyphenation doesn't change grammar.
Right fix: use tweeted or posted on Twitter.
Wrong: I have-Twittered the update.
Right: I tweeted the update.

Similar mistakes to watch for

The same issue appears with many brand names. Either use a verb that describes the action or write "on [platform]." Some brands have become verbs (Google, Zoom), but caution is wise in formal writing.

Avoid: I have Facebooked that → Better: I posted that on Facebook.
Avoid: He has Google the answer → Better: He searched for the answer on Google.
In formal contexts, prefer posted on or shared on instead of turning every brand into a verb.
Wrong: She has Zoomed the meeting notes.
Right: She shared the meeting notes on Zoom/Slack.
