Every time I type the word Xmas but use the full 9 letters it comes out as "Christmas"

As I type this, it's correct, but preview tells a different story.

OK the x m a s word does the same as c h r i s t m a s

That's the swear filter, @Cobra doesn't like the use of the C word this early in the year.

Please await his arrival at which point he will decide the appropriate punishment* for circumventing said swear filter.


*brace yourself for having to donate copious amounts of cakes/biscuits to the staffroom.

Why the hell are you using that word in June anyway?

brace yourself for having to donate copious amounts of cakes/biscuits to the staffroom

Works for me

Maybe there's a market for Jaffa Biscuits that go soggy when they go stale...

C********mas

Hopefully that doesn't get picked up (yet!!!)

PM to Asha. The phrase was "an early Christmas and birthday present". As I sit reviewing my typing, it's c h r i s t m a s.

Preview says it's not.

Also, if we're going to go pedantic about it, there's a very good case to be made for the nativity actually occurring in September. Details on request .
