A saltire
is an 'X' you don't hear
because it appears
to your eyes (not your ears) -
a cross symbol - saltire.

Every week I rhyme and define a new wacky word.
Come on over to indulge your inner nerd.
And, please let me know of any weird words you've heard.
Great rhyme Rachel. True it appears to the eyes not the eras. Love it!
