Talk:x

Fandom sense denoting a ship (relationship)

I think it's stretching things to call this a conjunction. Isn't it more like a symbol? Equinox ◑ 14:34, 20 December 2017 (UTC)

Possible missing sense: series/episode separator, e.g. X Files 1x04

Should we add? And what's the origin of this? Equinox ◑ 14:36, 20 December 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Latinx also has discussion related to this, and mentions terms like womxn, hxstory, alumnx, and Xicana (/Xicanx). - -sche (discuss) 01:21, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

Spotted online today: thexlogian and thexlogy, in place of thealogian/theologian, thealogy/theology. Nothing on Google Books, Groups, Scholar, or Issuu, though. - -sche (discuss) 01:28, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

I dont think Xicana belongs in this category though ... the initial x may just be an attempt to clarify that it's a word of indigenous origin (in this case Nahuatl) rather than being from Spanish. —Soap— 15:44, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
