C is for confusion.
Some people think C is an unnecessary letter because, hey, don't we already have a letter that makes that sound (They're talking about K)? And they're right, we do. K is fine letter for making the harsh cutting sound at the end of bike and spike but when used at the beginning of a word it ends up looking like a juvenile attempt at creative slang from the '90s, and that's just not kewl, man. So, I hope you're convinced, from that brief explanation, that we really do need the letter C, even if only to place before the letter K to form the end of one of my favorite words.
Now that you are certain of its importance, it's time to familiarize yourself with the look of this letter.
Here's a uppercase C: C.
And here's a lowercase C: c. (Note: This could also be a capital C in a lower font size).
Uppercase and lowercase Cs look almost identical, even in cursive.
Don't confuse the letter see with the slightly similar letter G, which is a common occurrence in the U.K...apparently. In their defense, the letter C does come from the same Hebrew letter as G, but I've never heard of a ciraffe....maybe they thought it was a carafe.
When you see a lowercase c trapped in a circle that's an indication of copyright, so you probably shouldn't steal it, use it, or duplicate it for your own profit.
Like A and B, C is also a word, but it is spelled completely different and doesn't even include the letter c in it at all. Although I will still be eating a lot of See's during this week because Candy starts with C. Other things you, by which I mean I, can look forward to in the upcoming weeks are:
Cocktails
Cookies
Cheese
Coffee
Cake
and it's safe to expect some Cheating as well.
