Do you take offense when people say X-mas instead of Christmas?

Is it SO hard to spell the word out?

A couple months back, on the deth bb, I got into it with some disrespectful prick who insisted on doing that. I'm not Christian, but it's still disrespectful in my eyes.

I agree completely. I can't stand it when people refer to Christmas as being "Xmas" and Christians being "Xians". It might be derived from the Greek alphabet, but one, the majority of people don't know that. Two, the majority of people who use "X" in place of "Christ" do it for entirely different reasons. I.E they're either lazy, or trying to be 'cool' by using hacker lingo or whatever.
