Although it may not be as exciting as the meaning of life, the histroy of the letter X is rich as it crosses cultrues and civilizations. This history helps us understand its meaning and why we are not watching a TEDz talk.
A former university boxing champion, Iain is an english teacher with an MA in TESOL from Lancaster University. Currently, he works at Prince Mohammed University (PMU).
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

Depends on how many X's you have. Double x is double cross or crossed. So state of Jefferson of northern CA uses double X. Masonic square and compass makes a double X, XX. We know that X loves O, XOXO. We have O my God. So if O represents god. X is who? Xmas. I can go deeper but I am bored already.
