It is "por ejemplo" in Spanish. Words written with x are pronounced as ks (existir, sexo, excelente, axioma, etc.) Words that are pronounced "j" are written with "j", never with x in modern Spanish (ejemplo, ejecutivo, ejercicio, relajar, etc.) I don't know when this was standardized by the Real Academia Espaņola, but it was very long ago. The Mexicans retaining the "Mexico" spelling was somewhat a matter of politics, I believe. co'o mi'e xorxes ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Your high school sweetheart-where is he now?
