Since "x" is verbalized in English as "eks", the "an" would precede it.

a/an usage is based on sound, not spelling.

Mefferts has it as "Master Pyramorphinx". I'm not sure which is right, but that is probably what causes the confusion. (Not talking about the name, but rather the inclusion/exclusion of the n)

My point, exactly.
The shortened term has become "Mastermorphix," but the full name is "Master Pyramorphinx."
This has intrigued me for the longest of time.

I have a submission, but I don't know how to filter it further.

13,900 results of the word "your"

I'm willing to bet that a decently large percentage of these are misused such as in the following sentences:

"So you mean your going to the competition?"
"Your an idiot" <------- This one is common in flame threads, and always makes me lol irl

etc.

Anyone have any ideas on how to sift out the improper uses out of the 13,900 or so results of the word? My personal opinion is that this is one of the highest grammar misuses on the entire forum. That and perhaps "there" in place of "they're," but I think "your" replacing "you're" is probably more common.
