            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.

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

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

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

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