      * Thats very true.  *
*         A layman who has no idea about the symbol 'X' according to the
codes of the IPA (International Phonetics Association), can hardly pronounce
AXOM / OXOM properly. But at least the Sahitya Sabha Stalwarts ought to be
aware of the significance of 'X' and re-christen the "ASS" as Asom Xahitya
Xabha (AXX). I am leaving out the word "Asom" (for as I said, a lot of
controversy surrounds it).*
*                    Anyways, thanx for ur mail.*

Some people seem to be quite happy with *ASS.*
It seems *Asom Sahitya Sabha (ASS)* changed its name only in 1964 to *ASS*.
It may be the right time now for it to change to *OXX (Oxom Xahitya Xobha)*
