Well put.
Problem is, I don't remember which one is the standard so I use them both interchangably.
Did I also forget to mention that I'm flexible with my standards adoption regulations? And aparently wishy-washy too.
Must be psychological.

Are you sure about that?
I use XF when I'm writing (logging purchases or writing on an insert for a flip), but for some reason I prefer EF when I'm typing (something like an eBay listing description).

It's EF...

because in miriam webster dictionary , that
is where you will find 'extremely'
This is for "Extremely Fine' (the grade) and "40" (the numerical designation of the grade). Also called XF-40. About 90% of the original detail is still evident and the devices are sharp and clear.
