about

a parody of W Trouble from Between the Lions

lyrics

the letter c has folks saying it should be removed
that without it the alphabet would be improved
it's a common complaint that's misguided at best
no, you can't just replace c with k and with s
(no, you can't just replace c with k and with s)

you know s becomes voiced intervocalically
and suffixes preserve etymology
if it's so inconsistent, why focus on c
when the quote unquote "problem" is much worse with g

if you were to cut c, then what you’d have in store
is you’re left with more problems than you had before
if you've learned nothing else, just remember this
English spelling reforms break more than they can fix
(English spelling reforms break more than they can fix)
