However, they do help make words shorter and less complecks. Seriously, ecksample is shortened by two letters by switching to x. It's a pain to write more, and it takes up more space if you are limited. Perhaps we should instead eliminate the usage of cks together and always make those into x's to make it less confusing on when to use each. However, I do not believe that X should ever be used to make a Z sound. :-#

Except in 'Xander'. It makes sense then because it's shortening of 'Alexander'.

No, but it is a name. There's a character in a book I read named that, and I've seen it places.

I know someone who was suppose to be called Xander as a nickname, but everyone calls him Sebastien instead.

X is used for the word Saxophone. It is also used to torture us in Algebra and Geometry problems. :yes:

Algebra is amazing!!! Whenever a type of problem that you don't get finally makes sense, it gives you a very profound sense of happiness.
