Did you pronounce it X-fire or Crossfire?

I think I remember an official statement saying “X-Fire” was correct, and “crossfire” was wrong.

I dont even need to watch this video, I can hear the thumbnail. Don’t get caught in the CROSSFIREEEE!
I actually convinced my parents to buy this for me, played it once.

I cannot read the word crossfire without that song latching onto my brain.

The commercial is a masterpiece of 90’s child-centric advertising

“Ex-fire”. “Crossfire” was an AMD thing.

Do you call the button on a controller X or cross?
ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I could be wrong but I call it the D pad

A lot of, generally Japanese, media uses “x” as shorthand for “cross”
A friend always called it “christfire” because it pissed EVERYONE off

Let them know I'm taking that for my new band name.

Hence the cross button on PS controllers.

I remember in Paper Mario: TTYD one of the late game tattle entries on a X-naut enemy clarifies that its pronounced "cross"-nauts. This game had me mispronouncing the villain team's name the entire time until the end.

X usually stands for cross. Some road sign will say train xing or deer xing

Sometimes X is also used to abbreviate Crossmas.

More recently X also represents a heap of shit.

English is my 2nd language, so I always read it as “X” Fire. That;s funny, I never though about it.
