If we banned those marks in the English language, it could be a slippery slope to straight up banning letters. Do we really need “x”? Xiphoid can be Ziphoid, xenomorphic can be zenomorphic, xanthosis can be zanthosis. Just replace “x” with “z”. Unless it’s a word like x-ray, which can just be spelled “eks-ray”

Funny; a post about the English language that starts with a dangling modifier in the first paragraph. I thought it was deliberate at first!
