Subject: Help with external fixator slang
On this account slang words are typed as dictated. For external fixator he dictates ex-fix. Is 'ex-fix' correct or should it be x-fix? It has been suggested that it might XFIX, a brand name, but I have not been able to find anything to confirm it.
Thanks!

It get's used enough, that I think most of us type it, and it will end up in the dictionaries before long. But it is still slang. Somebody has taken the Latin ending and just slapped it onto an English slang word. Doesn't it sound better than "increased numbers of immature, unsegmented neutrophils"?
