Except webtoon. Webtoon can stay.

Fun fact, the X in X-Mas is actually the Greek letter X (pronounced Chai or Key) that has been an accepted shortening for Christ, oftentimes by the Catholic Church, for literally thousands of years! If you've ever seen that P with an X at the bottom, that's Chi Roh, another Greek shortening of Christ or Christos. So people earnestly bitching about "taking the christ out of Christmas" with Xmas is a moron who doesn't know their own religion's history.

Fun fact: ‘X’ as a shorthand for ‘christ’ is based on the Roman alphabet and is thousands of years old.

Conversely, ‘X’ as Musk uses it is a very recent shorthand for douchebaggery.
