Fixed it.

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.

"looked like"

Using the example above it "looked like" an EX to a non-Greek which Raggedy Ann was at the time

I understand the concept of "looked like". I'm just saying it is a pet peeve when someone mistakes a S for an E. Even if they are a non-Greek and perhaps do not know any better.

RaggedyAnn - I'm pleased to hear that a Brother Sig was able to help you down the path of enlightenment and knowledge.
