3/25 What is the human facination with the letter X? We have:
DX (basic), LX (luxurious), EX (extra luxurious), FX (special effect),
GX (Nissan GXE), MX (Cyrix MX chip), RX (Acura/Integra), SX (486 SX),
TX (Fujitsu TX), XXX, X-files??? Why???
\_ Of the 25486 words in my machine's /usr/dict/words file, 636 of
them have the letter "x". If there were an even distribution of
letters among all words, then ~980 should have an "x". At roughly
2/3rds the purely staticially expected word count, I don't think
there are as many "x"'s in use as there should be and advertisers
recognise this and try to make up for it a bit by throwing in a few
extra "x"'s here and there. The letter is woefully under utilised.
Use an X today!

\_ Well, exxxxxxxxxxcuse me!
\_ XXX-Files!
\_ Dont' forget X window system...
\_ and the worst gaming API ever - DirectX!
\_ XXXXXX HOT NAKED XXX BABES IN POPCORN BUTTER --- ONLINE!!!1!! XXXXXX
\_ Cuz X is 'exotic' -- it seems special in marketing drool-speak
\_ "sex" ends with an X, so everything else wants to.
\_ The letter X has special appeal to the average clueless consumer
who never really know what he/she really wants in life. It's all
a result of marketting research. |
