the letter C, what a chump of a letter. we have K and S, so why need C? its useful for CH words of course, but used as S or K is redundant and makes us look dumber. Lets rid ourselves of such unnesessary hogwash and say fuk letter C.

how would one pronounse the word cicc? siks? kiks? sisk? kiss? or something im unaware of, and what would be definition if new word?

This is the funny think about languages. Can't apply logic

Someone says something for some reason and that becomes the holy truth

To anyone saying kina... Or kinese wall.

Fuck you.

Seriously, fuuuuuuuuuucckkkkk you.

@Demolishun

In most cases (including English) there are often subtle differences in the sounds those graphemes represent.

You could argue why F and V exist, they originate from the same thing, but they represent slightly different sounds. Same for B and V, Z and C, and let's not start with vowels.

Yeah, let’s replace it with the German ß 😂

A Plan for the Improvement of English Spelling, by Mark Twain (or possibly M.J. Yilz/Shields)

http://guidetogrammar.org/grammar/...

For example, in Year 1 that useless letter "c" would be dropped to be replased either by "k" or "s", and likewise "x" would no longer be part of the alphabet.

The only kase in which "c" would be retained would be the "ch" formation, which will be dealt with later.

Year 2 might reform "w" spelling, so that "which" and "one" would take the same konsonant, wile Year 3 might well abolish "y" replasing it with "i" and iear 4 might fiks the "g/j" anomali wonse and for all.

Jenerally, then, the improvement would kontinue iear bai iear with iear 5 doing awai with useless double konsonants, and iears 6-12 or so modifaiing vowlz and the rimeining voist and unvoist konsonants.

Bai iear 15 or sou, it wud fainali bi posibl tu meik ius ov thi ridandant letez "c", "y" and "x" -- bai now jast a memori in the maindz ov ould doderez -- tu riplais "ch", "sh", and "th" rispektivli.

OH COOKIE COOKIE COOKIE START WITH C

@retoor In practice it’s often replaced by ss. But it’s still part of the official writing rules.

@TeachMeCode
@retoor

He's talking phonetically.

Cookie you still read as "Kuki"
Cunt would be "kant" and so on

Then again, the results would be as idiotic as root pointed out

@Hazarth it's not idiotic, you're the idiot because you're not used to it. If it was the norm, you'd be fine with it and wouldn't have it any other way.

@retoor you could pull IPA pronunciation from a dictionary and have simple rules how to approximate it with regular letters

@electrineer Not sure if you're being serious or not.
