White suppremacist has long used the letter k to spell out word’s beginning with the letter c, ku klux klan is a prime example of this. Meanwhile x is currently being used by South Africa’s biggest boy to hurt trans kids. His obsession with the letter x should give us a reason to get rid of it. Its sounds are made by z already.

That’s it. Fuck English.

X is literally useless in Polish. It's function cam be easily, and is donez by just writing Ks.

I've only seen X used as a Ks substitute in historical texts before the writing reform, and honestly. It felt forced and unnatural.

Fuck X.

C, z and K though are all cool and good as they are each unique and single sounds. Unless you get into diagraphs lmao
