We are on to the letter X this week for Alphabe Thursday. What comes to mind are hugs and kisses xoxoxoxoxo .
is also a mark of incorrectness or wrong answer . There are NOT a lot of words that begin with X in the english language, and I have always seen it as just a symbol that includes those X-rated movies of adult gender .
The letter X originated from a letter in the Greek alphabet known as 'Chi'. X is also the value of 10 in Roman Numbers.
The Greek symbol chi-rho is represented in the X for "chi" and the rho for "r" to combine the word, "Christ."
X is the 24th letter of the English alphabet. 2+4/2+4/2+4 = 666. XXX can be seen to represent the number of the beast.- [interesting source]
Why is Christmas abbreviated "Xmas"?
Because the Greek letter "X" is the first letter of the Greek word for Christ, Christos. "Xmas" therefore means "Christ's Mass." The abbreviation has been around since at least the sixteenth century and is not, as some people have claimed, an attempt to take the "Christ" out of "Christmas" and make it a secular holiday.
Nevertheless, there is a word beginning with X that you will not want to forget: Xylitol. It is a better alternative to refined sugar.
In an article in the New Dawn Magazine (pg 43), according to researcher and bestselling author Sherrill Sellman :
“Although xylitol tastes and looks exactly like sugar, that is where the similarities end. Xylitol is sugar’s mirror image. While sugar wreaks havoc on the body, xylitol heals and repairs. It also builds immunity, protects against chronic degenerative disease and has anti-aging benefits. Xylitol is considered a five-carbon sugar, which means it is an antimicrobial, preventing the growth of bacteria. While sugar is acid forming, xylitol is alkaline enhancing. All other forms of sugar, including sorbitol, another popular alternative sweetener, are six-carbon sugars which feed dangerous bacteria."
