FLAME ON:

For God's sake, the term "Xwindows" is completely unacceptable, and should
NOT be used ("Xserver" is equally bad . . .).  Acceptable terms include

	- The X Window System
	- X
	- X11

The same sort of thing applies when referring to the server.

The folks who designed and implemented X take this sort of thing somewhat
seriously, and I for one believe that their views on this subject should
be respected.

FLAME OFF.
