I know y'all know the difference. But that is one of my pet peeves. Regardless of how it is written, S is not an E and is one of the more commonly known letters of the Greek alphabet. As such, SC should never be abbreviated as EX. Especially by anyone that is Greek or knows the Greek alphabet. EX is Epsilon Chi.
