Yeah, Welsh wouldn't look silly if they'd stuck with K.

A true tale, on I was unaware of, many thanks.

[The grapheme k was also used more commonly than in the modern alphabet, particularly before front vowels.The disuse of this letter is at least partly due to the publication of William Salesbury's Welsh New Testament and William Morgan's Welsh Bible, whose English printers, with type letter frequencies set for English and Latin, did not have enough k letters in their type cases to spell every /k/ sound as k, so the order went "C for K, because the printers have not so many as the Welsh requireth";[6] this was not liked at the time, but has become standard usage.

What a silly bunt!
