Can we stop saying Teletext? The X500 series standards are talking about 
Teletex. One letter shorter.

Teletext was invented by the BBC, to deliver pages of text and block graphics 
in the blanking interval on analogue television transmissions. It brought joy 
to millions of people (especially nerds) around the world for several decades 
prior to analogue television going off the air.

Teletex is an ITU standard, intended to supersede Fax but largely forgotten 
because it turns out Internet email is what people actually wanted. Its text 
encoding infested the X.500 series standards and thereby made dozens of people 
miserable.
