This raises the question, why was a company allowed to trademark a letter?
You can’t trademark a letter. Trademarks are extremely narrow and are only meant to apply in circumstances where one organization’s symbol could be confused for another. In general I am very anti-intellectual-property, but trademarks are okay in my book. They are basically for consumer protection.
Eh. If I start my X Laundromat business, Microsoft won’t come after me.

Because *money*@pruwybn @storksforlegs In the future, everytime you use the letter X, even to text, you will be charged a fee of x amount of cents based on your income.
Will you be charged a fee for using the letter as a variable in that statement?
It is context sensitive
