I wonder if that word will bother anyone. I hope so. I hope that it bothers people the way that X-mas does. Interestingly, the x doesn't stand for just anything the way that it does in Math. I was taught that it comes from Xristos and is the first letter of Jesus last name (as we've come to pretend) which might as well be an X because we don't actually know which first century Yeshua we're talking about (it's not an uncommon name). However, it may be more enlightening to use it the way we do in Math.
