Talk:c.

If "C." is an abbreviation of "city", then this page should say so. "C." is also an abbreviation of many other things. — Paul G 06:22, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)

"Abbreviations of English terms:"

1. carat -- it's Karat (dated Carat), coming from french carat and not from english
2. Celsius -- that's coming from the swede A. Celsius (1701–1744), not from english, cf. www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/Celsius ; also it's abbreviated "C" resp. "°C" resp. (dated?) "° C."
3. code -- ??
4. Coulomb --- that's coming from some french, not from english, cf. www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/Coulomb , also it's "C" (big and a not small letter)
5. coupé -- that's coming from french, cf. www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/Coupe_Auto_Kutsche
6. curie -- that's named after some frenches, cf. www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/Curie

"Abbreviations of Latin terms:"

1. caput/capitulum:
   1. "c. 2, S. 12–29" -- that looks retarded. Is it a real example or something made up? Logically it should be "c." and "p." or "Kap."/"K." (Kapitel) and "S."

Also: Not all the Abbreviation's are nouns. "c." for "caput"/"capitulum" is a noun, "c." for "circa" is not. -91.63.253.69 22:39, 22 November 2014 (UTC)Reply

c.

German. It looks like Latin to me. --ReloadtheMatrix (talk) 11:55, 18 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Does that also apply to English c.? And what about circa? In any case, if this is in doubt, it should be raised at Wiktionary:Requests for verification/Non-English, not here. That would be a waste of our time, though, since the use of this abbreviation in German is readily attested, like here “c. 2000” for “circa 2000”.  --Lambiam 12:52, 18 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
