So it's 10x. And no need for Unicode codepoints.
- Daneel_ 1mo agoI fully agree that speech evolves, but maybe this is just in the US? I've never really heard anyone say it here in Australia, it's usually "times", although admittedly almost no one uses the phrase/format here.
- christoff12 1mo agoAh, yes. My gripe is certainly US American flavored.
- shussjjs 1mo agoA number plus an “x” is used beyond Trumpistan. I have never in my life heard anyone say “ten ex”.
- _flux 1mo agoHave you heard the expression "10x developer"?
