X
in our alphabet being a needless letter has an added invincibility to the attacks of the spelling reformers, and like them, will doubtless last as long as the language. X is the sacred symbol of ten dollars, and in such words as Xmas, Xn, etc., stands for Christ, not, as is popular supposed, because it represents a cross, but because the corresponding letter in the Greek alphabet is the initial of his name -- "Xristos". If it represented a cross it would stand for St. Andrew, who "testified" upon one of that shape. In the algebra of psychology x stands for Woman's mind. Words beginning with X are Grecian and will not be defined in this standard English dictionary.

Fifth letter of a NASDAQ stock symbol specifying that it is a mutual fund.
Copyright © 2000, Campbell R. Harvey. All Rights Reserved.
X or XD Symbol used in newspapers to indicate that a stock is trading without a dividend. The symbol X also signifies without interest in bond tables. In most cases, it is wise to find out when a dividend paying stock will trade ex-dividend. By buying when the stock is ex-dividend, you avoid the tax liability on the just distributed dividend. Note that after a dividend is paid, the stock's price falls by the amount of the dividend paid, plus or minus any market adjustment. The same principle holds for mutual funds paying distributions. Buy shares after distributions are made. Stock mutual funds usually make distributions in December or January.

An emoticon is a pictorial representation of a facial expression using punctuation marks and letters, usually written to express a person's mood. Emoticons are often used to alert a responder to the tenor or temper of a statement, and can change and improve interpretation of plain text; emoticons for a smiley face :-) and sad face :-( appear in the first documented use in digital form. The word is a portmanteau word of the English words emotion and icon. In web forums, instant messengers and online games, text emoticons are often automatically replaced with small corresponding images, which came to be called emoticons as well. Certain complex character combinations can only be accomplished in a double-byte language, giving rise to especially complex forms, sometimes known by their romanized Japanese name of kaomoji.
