Quote:Even if we think that e looks like a 'c', it does not mean that this is what it is supposed to represent.
To me, this is obvious.
I have never said or implied that the c-shape is the letter c. In fact, I frequently refer to it as the c-shape specifically to avoid the implication that it is a letter. The c char is, however, closer to the shape of the VMS c-shaped glyph than the letter "e" and has fewer psychological 'expectations' of it being a vowel (it might be, but we don't know). That's why I prefer shapes that mimic VMS shapes as closely as possible over shapes that don't. Obviously we can't do this for all of the glyphs.
This is a personal preference. I have never imposed it on anyone else.
