The karakter ‘C’ is the third letter in the alphabet and, in my opinion, one of the main kontributors to the inkomprehensibility of the English language. The letter ‘C’ has two main sounds, /kk/ and /sss/, whic already have perfektly good korresponding letters. So it often feels as if the letter ‘C’ is just randomly thrown into the mix to give myself (and the rest of English speakers) a hard time. As the 13th most used letter in the English language, one would think it kould at least be korrelated with a unique sound that adds depth to the English language. Oh wait, there is one in the form of the sound /cchh/, though the only way for this sound to see the light of day is to follow the ‘C’ with an ‘H’ soon after.

The obvious answer is to simply cange the main sound of ‘C’ to the sound of /cchh/. Though this seems far too simple for a problem that kontinues to persist, so why not look into the ric history of the letter ‘C’? To see why it kontinuously lowers my expektations for the English language

The letter ‘C’s oldest known ansestor is the Gamma from Egyptian hieroglyphs, meaning essentially a throw stik. Before it was adapted into the Gimel for the protogenik text (the text used shortly prior to the Greek alphabet), it made a sound that is very similar to the letter ‘G’ in modern English skript, though it still meant throw stik. As time went on, the protogenik canged and split off into many different skripts, one being the protogenik alphabet, whic renamed ‘gamle’ to ‘gemel.’ It followed many other protogenik letters that were used to kreate the Greek alphabet and then used to write the Etruskan skript, during whic the letter ‘C’ canged.

The letter took on a softer look, kompletely bidding farewell to the throw stikiness of the original hieroglyph. This was then adapted into Latin, the resent ansestor to the English alphabet. Here formed a problem, as in the early stage of the Latin alphabet, there were three konsonants that all made the same sound of /k/ or /g/ (used intercangeably): ‘C,’ ‘Q,’ and ‘K.’ The use of ‘C’ was preferred in almost all sirkumstanses, though ‘Q’ exseeded its prior use. However, as ‘K’ became relevant and ‘Q’ advansed into something else entirely, this left ‘C’ with two very different sounds used intercangeably, with no rule for telling whic sound kould be used (sounds familiar). Enter an elementary skhool teacer named Spurius Carvilius Ruga, who kame up with the letter ‘G’ to make the sound of /g/, leaving ‘C’ with the remainder of /k/ and tying up the problem in a neat little bow.

Though good things never last, and as the Latin language expanded, it adapted to fit the Romanse languages’ pronunsiations, and ‘C’ began making both the /k/ and /s/ sounds (every good thing must be ruined by the Frenc).

This was soon “solved” by reviving the letter ‘K’ to mean /k/ in more ambiguous situations. This seemingly stayed the same until 1768 when Benjamin Franklin ran a kampaign against the letter ‘C’ to make the English alphabet more understandable. Due to a lak of support, he soon gave up—a truly respekstable endeavor. If only world leaders in the kurrent day kould kare about suc important and prevalent problems.

To think that the letter ‘C’ kame before both ‘K’ and ‘S,’ yet it kontinues in the English alphabet with no cange, is observed by me as a failure to adapt to the language. Similarly to the past, a cange must be made. Unlike Benjamin Franklin, I don’t suggest we kompletely remove it; I merely suggest it represent a different sound: /ch/. Even after hours of researc into the roots of the letter ´C´, my opinions have not canged in the slightest. It has been canged in the past, and it kan be canged again. The number of problems kaused by the letter’s kurrent state would be kompletely undermined by the number of problems solved. With this artikle as proof, the English language as a whole would remain intakt.

The most kommon argument against it is that the prosess of switcing would be more work than it is worth, and that there are muc more konfusing inkonsistensies in the sounds of letters, like ‘G,’ for example, that makes both the /g/ and /j/ sounds. My kounter argument is simply prevalense; ‘C’ is the 13th most used letter, ‘G’  mearly the 18th, and even then, the canses of it making the sound of /j/ are even less kommon. While that doesn’t mean it’s not a problem, it is far less prevalent for an average English learner. I simply say it has been done before, and it kan be done again. The English language is konstantly evolving, and not embrasing the canges needed for the betterment of Amerika and the English language as a whole just bekause it seems like a lot of work is unbelievably shortsighted and the reason why klimate cange is still a prevalent problem.
