During the course of the day not too many of us use words that begin with the letter "X"
I wanted to join "Jenny Matlocks, Alphabet Thursday" and walked around for days thinking
to find a subject about "X".
It was not easy!
So I thought to post about all the words in the English language that begins with the letter "X" It may be long but how many do you know and how many of these words do you actually use each day?
To be honest with you, I have not heard of most!
Here go's!

I told you it was long..
I had no idea there were so many!
If you read through this list, can you tell me how many you actually do know? The Roman Numerals don't count!

I'm linking up to Jenny Matlocks and am so interested in reading others posts, to see what they come up with!

I must agree that not many of those words are commonly used. :))
Good gracious woman! Very educational x post!
X certainly is a letter for the scientists. :-)
There were far too many of them that I didn't know!
Yikes, Sandy! So many X's, so little time! That's quite a list!
HA! Who knew?
Woah! That is a lot of words starting with X!!!
I see a version of my word in there!
I'll be you get an A+ from Miss Jenny!
I see mine!
You are sure to get an A+ from Miss Jenny!
Oh yeah! I use those all the time!
X words aren't normally used throughout the day or at least words that start with the letter X.
Often times, inspiration for my Alphabe-Thursday posts don't come till the morning of, but this week was quite different. In fact, I had my post done yesterday morning. Now to think ahead for next week's assignment.
Thanks for visiting today! Your newest GFC follower, Cathy =D
You copied my sources ! I googled : "words starting with X", and I also got such a list, lol !
Who was it that said there just aren't very many X words! Who knew!
You did a great thing posting this list! Wow! I know there are so many X words but I rarely use very many and today I cheated! So come visit and have a happy weekend!
just when you think there are only about 4 words that starts with X ... what a great list ... and i certainly didnt know most of them!
Visiting from Mrs Matlock’s, thanks for stopping by and look forward to *seeing* you again soon!
Mmm! Great post – so apt.
Have a great weekend too.
commit these to memory, and you will always win at Scrabble :)
That's ureal! Am gonna look up what xenophobia is -maybe it's a phobia of X'ses, lol!
What an Xcellent list of X words that I use few of!
I wonder if I should try and integrate some into my conversation today?
Yes, indeed, that would be an Xcellent idea!
Oops.
That was definitely cheating!
Thanks for a fun link for the letter X.
