Folx? How do you pronounce the x? I'm in a pretty progressive setup and haven't heard that yet.

Aiui, it is pronounced "folks". It is just written as "folx" when in writing, as a weird shibboleth.

I kinda distrust people/institutions who/which use it? (not when they say "folks" though. That's fine.)
