WANTED: MORE WORDS BEGINNING WITH X, Y, & Z

CHICAGO (Wireless Flash) -- A Chicago woman is waging a war against words which begin with A, B or C. Self-proclaimed "eventologist" Adrienne Sioux Koopersmith claims the first three letters of the alphabet have an unfair advantage over those at the end -- so she plans to correct the "injustice" by publishing her own dictionary filled with words that begin with X, Y or Z. Some of her proposed words... -- "Xis-xis," a substitute for writing Xs and Os at the end of love letters. -- "Yamish," which Koopersmith says describes "young strapping Amish people." -- "Zymkies," "any sugar-enriched cookie with a cross- hatched mark across the top." Koopersmith is encouraging others to create new X-Y-Z words through an organization she's dubbed "The League For the Advancement of the Alphabet Letters X, Y and Z."
