What is Xmas?
Wishing someone a Merry Xmas may yield numerous responses. If these words are uttered to a linguist, that person is likely to understand that no disrespect is intended. On the other hand, saying Xmas to other people may result in indifference, a sense of inclusion or a direct insult. It’s important to understand how this word came about and why, from a linguistic prospective, the person insulted has no basis for their feelings.
