'C' is for COMMUNICATION


You know, a lot of people ask Carol and I what language we speak more in our home: English or Spanish. Well, the funny thing is, we are a lot like the letter 'C'. It is the only letter in the alphabet that doesn't have its own phonetic identity. It can be pronounced like a 'K' or like an 'S'. Could you tell me exactly how often the 'C' is pronounced as an 'S' or how often it's pronounced as a 'K'? So, in a sense, you could say the letter 'C' is bilingual. Sometimes it even buddies up with the mother letter in the same word like McKendrick or subconscious. Funny!? We enjoy being a multilingual family unit as it opens more doors to express ourselves and to give us our own unique identity.
