Nah - it's a medieaval scribes shortcut. When you're
hand-writing manuscripts with quills, X is a hell of
a lot quicker to write than Christ, especially if you're
doing it all day. I mean - how many times do you type
http:// in a day when it's understood?

Not unlike a TLA (yes, I have read the rest of this
thread - no flames please).
