Thanks for the lesson in Greek and English bilingualism

"Christ" instead of "X" makes it clear what the whole subject is all about to those who are not proficient in the Greek language.

Merry Christmas, Zak. And thanks so much for the lesson in Greek/English bilingualism.

However, if the Greeks choose to use X to signify chi, good on them. But tell me, what is wrong with us here in Canada using the full word of Christmas? The inclusion of Christ instead of X makes it very clear as to what the whole subject is all about to us who are not proficient in the Greek language.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.
