just a question to spanish speakers :) Why do people write "x favor" instead of "por favor"? I'm just wondered how could it appear, it's quite an unusual thing for spanish beginners like me :) Did it appear recently with sms introduction to save time or this tradition has a long history? I'm dying of curiosity, anyway :) ¡Gracias por las respuestas!

Because in its multiply meaning, "x" is read as "por".

¡Hola! In Spanish, we use often "x" instead of "por" in Internet slang.
