Salam Mai,
After Googling "four-time ASP world champion," I found a site using "4x" in a photo caption:

As I thought, it does mean "four-time," but I didn't realize it was okay to write "4X" in this instance.

I apologize if I misled you in any way.

And how do I know which is right?! (We can't say "the author should\ve written sth because it's either we understand, so it's over or we don't and he shouldn't have written but what has been written) we don't edit the origin according to our understanding.

Mr. Hany, How can you get مصنف رابع Is there any source for that?

Hany Adel Feb 5, 2012:
