Set a filter for capital ' X ' (with a space on either side) as well as ' X.' (left space + period)
Eh, it's not that simple... There's a windowing system on Linux, and an old punk band from LA, and a whole generation...
Running away from the X windowing system might not be that bad though 😉

Unix Blasphemy!!
I do love X though (not the Twitter rebrand - Motif for life!!). A simple X program is/was so portable, but I guess not many people care anymore.
Not to mention the phrase, X marks the spot.
