X is for "el xilofono"

There are no (normal) animals starting with the letter X, so we'll turn to the all purpose xylophone for our icon.  The Spanish word for xylophone, as you might guess, is simply el xilofono.  "X" is another virtually non-existent letter in Spanish, like "K" and "W."  Whenever you see it, pronounce is as an "S" sound.  Most Spanish speakers don't use the "ks" sound.  Thank you Leeann for a great burst of creativity in giving us el xilofono man at the end of the alphabet.  He looks like the letter X the way his arms and legs spread out, and his head makes and "O" shape on the top reminding us to end this word in the "O" sound.  Great work!
