A new generation is about to dawn, giving us all a wonderful opportunity to ask ourselves this question: "Have I been misspelling the name of Microsoft's game console for the last five years?" If you have, don't worry! It's not a real word and has far too many X's for its own good. Nevertheless, the arrival of the Xbox 360 is a good opportunity to fix what needs fixing in your board posts, editorials, or CNN Money columns. Please feel free to print out and pin the chart below to your monitor.

What's the etymology of Xboxen and Xdude? I find both of these confusing and neither inherently funny.

Also, can I and my crew get away with "X to da 360"?

 

[pilonv1]

Xdude will live on forever.

M$ Xbox! WOW I TOTALLY SHOWED J00s THAT I KNOW MS HAS TEH GREEN! WOW

 

[Late Stage Marxist]

The X stands for 'ecstacy.'
