Very few words end with a c in english. It's usually just k, ck or ce.

Gawd, I was kidding. Because my name ends with a C.

Also, I can think of quite a few English words ending with a c. A comparable number to words ending with k, ck or ce? I don't know. Does it matter? Like, at all? I don't think so.

Okay, I guess you were kidding too.

Because more words in the English language end with C, than all of your examples combined.

Hrm... looks like my english teacher fuced up.

Although most of these words seem to be just other words (that don't end with "ic") ended with the suffix -ic, meaning "of, or pertaining to".

I've got this idea in my head that there is a hierarchy of words, and derived words such as those that contain a suffix aren't really first class citizens in a language. You don't need to know the definition of pelvic to know that it means "of the pelvis". Don't have any idea where that comes from, I'm not exactly schooled in etymology.

If you drop the -ic suffix, there are only 425 words ending with C.

That's good enough for me.

You'd have to remove all derived words, such as "abundance" from the "ce" category, to balance things out. Every prefix and suffix. You'd see those 1000-3000 entries per "k", "ck", and "ce" drop down pretty harshly as well.

Also Marc is short for Marcus who was bad-ass in Fallout 2. And Mark is in the bible.

Bad-ass mutie that wields a chain gun > some dude who wrote about Jesus and died.

He kills their kids, he kills their wives, he kills their parents and their parents' friends.

This is probably the weirdest e-Penis contest I have seen in a while.

But as I seem to be on the winning side, I'll allow it.

So Blindy's teacher told him words don't end in c except when they do but those don't count. The german guy corrects him by showing us a site that thinks fuckgash and skullfuck are words. I started to be a bitch and got called an apricock

It's been like 12 years since freshman English, if I remembered anything accurately it would be amazing.

But I think the lesson was on guessing the probable spelling via phonetics and one of the ideas was that you can pretty well bet that your root word doesn't end with a c if it has that sound.

It doesn't really matter. Just a trivial curiosity.
