Sure but that’s not really cross then. This is cross , or even more accurately this . Only if you’re alluding to House of Bolton can you call X a cross.Because +50% of people would call it *plus* and we would have the exact same discussion, just different.
I mean, it's not entirely surprising that the dumb American majority would prioritize a religious definition based in fiction over a geometrical definition based in hard matha cross is simply two intersecting lines..you guys are equating a jesus style cross with one line longer than the other as the true meaning of a cross but its not..just two lines crossing, either vertical and horizontal, or at an angle like an X..either way its a cross.

In a recent interview with 1up, Sony designer Teiyu Goto spills the beans as to what he had in mind with each button:
Goto:
Other game companies at the time assigned alphabet letters or colors to the buttons. We wanted something simple to remember, which is why we went with icons or symbols, and I came up with the triangle-circle-X-square combination immediately afterward. I gave each symbol a meaning and a color. The triangle refers to viewpoint; I had it represent one’s head or direction and made it green. Square refers to a piece of paper; I had it represent menus or documents and made it pink. The circle and X represent ‘yes’ or ‘no’ decision-making and I made them red and blue respectively. People thought those colors were mixed up, and I had to reinforce to management that that’s what I wanted.
Ucucks cant be trusted with such important matters

Sometimes people are just wrong about the things they name. This and GIF are two examples. Popular usage determines the name imo. It is an X. The thing that I never understood about this is that it's observably not "a cross", yes two lines are crossing, but generally you don't call that "a cross".
You do
And still it is a cross. And depending on your profession you ARE actually going to use cross in that sense a lot.No, you don't, which is why calling it X is more common.
It's 'eks.' Not 'cross.' Europeans are fucking weird. And wrong a lot.
