Same here. I tend to dislike using [c] for /k/. That isnt a problem when i write out my conlang because i can decide the sounds (And it follows Tagalog phonology, so there is no [c] in Tagalog). My view is, why use a letter that has no original sound of it's own? :). ____________________________________________________________________ "I found love on a two way street, and lost it on a lonely highway" ____________________________________________________________________
