    Can I just say I hate this new trend of replacing “and” or / with “x”

    Godzilla x Kong, the title to this article, any new song that gets released has “x” instead of “feat./featuring”

      I’ve seen Japanese using it to mean “cross” as in crossover decade before, but i guess since the airing of Spy X Family anime the usage has spread from there.

    • Fwiw, for non serious writing, I’ve been using the “x” form since I was teenager.

      For Threadi headlines, it’s a useful space saving measure since the title has a limited number of characters.

        + or & would do just fine.
