Recently I was thumbing through the dictionary, on the crapper of course, I came across the C’s. Under the pronunciation, I noticed that almost all the words beggining with the letter C, were marked with the pronuciation of K, those exceptions were words like Caesar that start with an S sound. Looking though the rest of the dictionary I found that the letter C either makes a K or S sound, which means that C could potentailly be replaced by K and S. So I strongly believe that the letter C should be removed from the English language all together, if there is no sound it really makes.
Knowing the crowd I’m speaking to I am fully aware that some of you will find the minor loophole that I too came across. Although I assure you that the loophole can be fixed by some tweaking to the letter K or perhaps S. You have three days to find the answer, and if you find it, please don’t make a comment, email me for the sake of messing with people.

Actually, words like Caesar and Celtic should be pronounced with a hard “K” sound. The soft “S” sound wasn’t in use at the hight of any Caesars or Celtics. I might know the loophole, though. hmmm…
