Petition to remove the letter C from the English alphabet

Lao Fu the Tiger··11 votes·3,719 views

My roommate and I have offishially deklared the letter C is the most useless letter in English.

Under what sirkumstanse kan it NOT be replased by an S or a K? And in the kase of "church," I implore you to open your minds to the possibility of "tshurtsh."

So really, sinse C is so useless, who else votes we just delete it?

He's a Youtuber who makes videos about stuff that he doesn't get and/or doesn't like in culture, Youtube, society, or just general things.

Here's a link if you'd like to check him out.

You can't just remove a letter that's actually there to add depth to pronunciation. If you tried to just spell everything with a C instead with a S or a K then you would run into issues like someone already said, stuff like "shildren" which isn't at all the same sound and "shill" is actually a term used once upon a time :D you can't just replace old conventions in a language that's a mish-mash of like 5 other ones, everything turns into a mess right fast.

You think it's some type of khemical? or wut?

Even though the c in my name (Jack) is unnecessary, I like it. Communist scum.

:'(

What if we allowed names that already have a C to keep the C?

Then maybe I could get behind this movement, you will have to change a lot of the English language which will not be easy, but if it can be done I would be fine with this proposed change.

Were you involved in the production of Mortal Kombat by any chance?

I guess we'd have to get used to double k's. Like "He's a hakker". Some words would look a bit strange, like "sirkus" and "sertainly", though I suppose people will eventually adapt.

Are you going to watsh some sinema later? Don't forget to vaksinate your tshildren (shildren?)! Don't get into an aksident if you don't sukseed!

(How do you spell "science"? Sience?)

I just think we should eliminate the letter "X". Like, it's actually either the "ks" sound or the "z" sound

Lao Fu the Tiger1 votes

YOU'RE RIGHT. WE NEED A NEW THREAD.

Darkslayer851 votes

As someone who is a protagonist against this letter I agree! Eliminate it!

Cool beans.

I don't think the words you're saying mean what you think they mean.
