Introducing the most difficult letter of the alphabet!! The X
The X is always considered to be a letter, but it's more. It is a number in Roman arithmatic. It's a multiplication sign in our arithmatic. It represents a whole word like in xoxox at the bottom of a letter, and sometimes it is as good as a signature.
It also represents an instrument of execution like the Saint Andrew cross.
A paper-knife
It can also be a decoration or an ornament in one of our domestic utensils.
Norwegian bridal spoon
What did it mean on the sail of theSanta Maria of Christoffel Columbus? At least I think this caravel on the photo is his ship.
If you take part in this game:
1 please use the letter X in a photo, or in a poem, a story...whatever,
2 and refer to the founder of this meme:Mrs. Denise Nesbitt and Roger who took over from her.Or show the logo of this meme in your post, or (like I do) in the sidebar.
Your ABC Wednesdays are always so informative, and this one is no X-ception. I used a well-known 20th century musician, even though I'm pretty sure Roger has mentioned him before, but as much as Roger and I both love 20th century music, we do have a different point of view. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas, Wil, and that the year 2014 is good to you. Let's keep in touch! Love and hugs, K
Not many people participating this round. X on Xmas is tough! Thank you for a great round. As we skid to the end of the alphabet, I'm pondering my theme for the next round.
Great post for the letter X. Happy Christmas!
