C is the 13th most frequently used letter in the English Alphabet Foto Friday: Letter C The third letter of the English alphabet is C. We all know that some words starting with the letter C are difficult to spell correctly if one is not careful enough. Though my mother tongue is not English, I was obliged to learn English for obvious reasons when I was a born in British India. However, I could never understand why the word “chic” should not be written as “shik”? Similarly, what about the word “coin”? Why should we not write it as “Koin” instead of “Coin” when the letter C in this case sounds like K? In some cases, C may sound like S, K, Sh. It may remain silent too in a particular case. Perhaps, an English linguist can explain the problem properly. Meanwhile, I take the opportunity to upload the picture of the Ceiling Fan mounted in the middle of one of the rooms of my home as my only choice for this week’s Foto Friday entry. Cheers and be Cool.

Isn't the fan suspended from the ceiling of the room?

If it were mounted on the floor or wall it could create a real mess and then we would have to watch where we walk! Cheers to you too.

Your ceiling fan must come in really handy in hot weather! I'm sure you're very glad you have it. When I was redecorating my dining room I was thinking of installing one and then a chandelier caught my eye and that was the end of my ceiling fan plans because there wasn't enough room for both. Oh well ... regular fans have worked out just fine so far.   A day without dance is .... just kidding. I have no idea!

I DO HOPE THAT FAN IS WELL FIXED ON THAT CEILING AND WON'T FALL DOWN. MY AC UNIT IS ON THE FLOOR SO NO WAY THAT CAN HAPPEN. THE SPELLING ISSUES YOU MENTION COULD BE SETTLED IF ONLY PURISTS WOULD ALLOW SIMPLIFICATION BUT WE WILL NOT LIVE TO SEE IT.

I live in a tropical country too, but in this part of the country the temp is not as hot as in the North or South. We have fans only in the rooms upstairs. Greetings!   Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.(Khalil Gibran)

We won't see it happen during our lifetime. Merry Christmas in advance. Stay safe.

I understand the confusion of the English language. Although it is my first language, I am hard of hearing and hear words differently. I would often mispronounce words or get a message mixed up. I don't worry about it like I did in my youth. I just laugh about it. I am okay with talking and being different. I also have a ceiling fam. My landlord keeps asking when I am going to get an air conditioner. I grew up in the desert. The local West Virginians have no clue what hot really is. Regular fan along with the ceiling fan and running around in a sports bra work for me Abracadabra

Very interesting and cool post, looklook. We here in Ireland very seldom need to use any kind of fan. We had a really beautiful hot summer here in 2020. I remember the shops sold out of fans at one point. We had a nice sunny warm summer this year too. It's winter time here now, and we are going through a very cold and frosty spell at the moment. I was out for a while yesterday, I couldn't wait to get home to the heat. Cheerio for now.

Be safe, dear friend. Please do stay well. Cheers~~

Ceiling fans are a relatively new thing in my life, we didn't have them growing up or even in my early adult years. I have two in my house now, but never turn them on. The stirring of the air is too uncomfortable for Joe, it makes him feel chilly. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.
