But, X. X is, like, the coolest letter of the alphabet! X-Men, Malcolm X ...even your username ends in an X! What do you have to say to that?

I think Ж looks cool. It's like an Greek Psi but mirrored, or an X with a pipe in it.

I used to spell my handle with an "x" years ago. I started spelling it differently after seeing so many edgy names with "X's" in them. I thought it was edgy and changed it.
