20. This question regards the written form of Christmas. Do you write Christmas or Xmas/Xmass?

(I was always taught it was disrespectful to write (or say) Xmas and now find it offensive when I see it written/said that way.)

20. Christmas although if I'm just writing something quick like on a list or whatever that is not formal, I might use XMAS.

Interesting that many people don't pronounce the "L" in salmon, but do with almonds. Verrrrrrrrrry interrrrrresssting. LOL

20. Christmas. I also find it offensive when I see "Christ" eliminated from Christmas, so no "Xmas" for me!

brain fart here... what is the word that has a letter (maybe an L or a T in it and it is not supposed to be pronounced but some people pronounce it anyways?? Anyone have a clue what word my brain can't come up with??? I know my description is not very detailed, but I am stumped right now.

T's - Ballet, buffet, christmas, mortage, fasten, listen, debut, depot.

L's - Salve, colonel, stalk, talk

About the L's. Weird how I would say polka with an L, but polka-dot I don't.

Here's an interesting explanation of how "XMAS" came to be in use:

Me too, Zgirl. Maybe it's because the dance came with the pronounciation from the country it originated in?

MERRYSEA!!! Thanks!! That's it!!

Zgood, funny how colonel does not sound anything like it is spelled. I say it with an r sound (kernel) and there is not even an R in it!

Growing up my grandma always said sal mon. So, I repeated what she said. After I met my husband, he thought it was the funniest thing ever to hear me say it that way..LOL So, I now say sam mon. It still doesn't "feel" right saying it that way.

20. Christmas
