These examples show sufficiently the use of capital/majuscule Greek letters or combination of Greek letters with otherwise Latin-letters in the contemporary English...therewith X-mas is not!!!!! in line...therewith inconsistent...& highly faulty.
It gives the charm...to muse...what is meant with the X-factor show...whom are they looking for in the Anglo-Saxon-world??...couldn't be Chi...for Christ ; )
every letter...I 'd think for any language in the world has a written symbol...the visible semiotic part and the sound part assigned to each other...in bijective manner...so that with a certain sound (dictation) someone wouldn't write something different and vc. vs. reading... no "kakofonie" would happen...that is exactly the case with Xmas...plus every letter also got a letter name...assigned to each letter in the alphabet, so that ambiguity/errors should/could be excluded...like in the case of Greek...and the table of any schoolbook for Greek proves that...
