RT for re-tweet instead of "via"
Change re-tweet behavior: currently the Mac app uses "via" instead of the community-standard "RT". RT takes much fewer characters and seems to be the de facto standard for re-tweeting.

Inappropriate?Maybe a preference item on which one to use?

this is one of the best points

Inappropriate?Or, as above, could be set as a preference.

Inappropriate?If it were a preference, I like how it works in twhirl, where you decide what and where to put your retweet info:
RT %s %t
or
%t (via %s)
Of course a bit cryptic, but totally freeform.
Or, maybe a dropdown with the 4-5 most popular formats?

Inappropriate?I agree. It should be at least an option. "RT" has become pretty much a standard on Twitter, but at least give the option. Right now, I have to manually delete the "(via @name)" added by Tweetie and type "RT @name" proceeding the tweet that is being retweeted.
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?They just added RT as an option in the desktop app, so hopefully its coming to the iPhone. It should be option so people can choose.
I’m confident
