Letter
I bet you all know what my favorite letter is. X, of course. X. Ecks. Ehhh…kssss. Sehcksy letter, isn’t it?
X is an underrepresented letter. It lives in the alphabet ghetto, tucked between its two slightly more middle class neighbors W and Y. When playing Scrabble, X has a bounty on its head of 8 points, second only to Q and Z.
X sounds like SeX. EXcept seXier.
X is found in latex and hex. X is found in Lexus and xylophone. X is found in vex and relax. X can be found in every pixel. X lounges in the North of Mexico.
X represents sex. X X X. We can find X in you or me. XX, XY.
X is pronounced like Z when it starts most words, like ECKS when it ends a word, and in words like arXiv it’s pronounced Chi, like in Greek. In my name it is pronounced Shsssss. X is fleXible.
X is mysterious, mutable, metaphorical. X represents the unnamed, the unremembered, the undetermined. X is eXploratory and eXperimental.
X is an abbreviation for Christ; X is an abbreviation for Ecstasy.
X is the name of several films and comics. X is the name of the graphical window system I am using. Everyone loves the X-files.
X is the X-men, X is the X-ray. X marks the spot. X means 10 in Roman numerals.
XXXX is a beer.
XXX is porn, a bad Vin Diesel movie, and a reference to Amsterdam.

Oh, just as a heads up, I put the wrong thing in the excerpt column. I didn’t steal your post, just wanted to make my readers aware of your post!
Good stuff, keep going!
Great post!
Very nice…We have a linguist on our hands…you remind of my Honors Lit class at Rutgers when I took 18th century English Lit. I learned some things that I never thought possible.
