Hi All,
For years of my life I have read and written "x" and "o" at the end of letters, emails, messages and cards and I have clearly understood these to be hugs and kisses.
A 'soberly challenged' conversation in the beer garden revealed an interesting argument between friends...
Which action does each character represent (xo)?
I had always thought that the 'x' represented hugs as the cross resembled crossed hands when hugging and that the 'o' represented kisses as the 'o' was like lips.
Others believe that the 'o' represents hugs because of the shape made with your arms when hugging and that the 'x' represents kisses... well because, it just does.
Please discuss your thoughts on the true representations of 'x' and 'o'...
