Delightful, indeed! Thanks!
I suspect most of our negative reaction to the replacement of "c" in the excerpts above stems from unfamiliarity. In the end, if people start to drop it in their writing, it may eventually disappear. Usage always wins. But there may be other letters on the chopping block first....
