Time to simplify the alphabet?

Yes it is, according to this guy, who has apparently decreed that the letter 'C' is useless and should be eliminated:

"The sheer uselessness of a letter which just mimics the sound of not one but two different consonants is staggering. It only causes confusion and is probably costing companies millions every year."

Well, I rather like the letter 'C', aside from the fact that it's my middle initial. (No, it doesn't stand for anything, which gives me something in common with Harry S Truman.)

Link via Phileos, a blog whose viewpoint I don't entirely share but which also provides quite a bit of nifty linkage and also sports just about the spiffiest blog design I've seen. I mean, that is one fine looking blog. Go look.
