All letters in the English Alphabet maintain some kind of importance to the English Language in allowing one to express words and their pronunciations. All letters except for "K", that is. There is not a single function that "K", the eleventh letter of the alphabet, performs which the letter "C" does not perform better. There is literally nothing that the letter "K" does which "C" does not. And isn't twenty-six an odd number to begin with? Just eliminate "K" and we have a much cleaner twenty-five!
