There are many uses for the letter X in the English language. It comes in handy for so much more than just xylophones and exits. You can use an X to mark a location on a map or write out multiplication problems. When you go to the polls to vote, you will place an X on your ballot for the candidate you want to vote for. That is, unless your polling location has switched to voting machines.
