I said that's the first time I had heard it. I didn't say I believed it.

Someone else's misuse of a word is not my responsibility.

And, last time I checked, we weren't Ireland either! I'd love to visit sometime in my life. It's a beautiful country!

"Someone else's misuse of a word is not my responsibility."

You have been advised by several Freepers that that it is offensive and hurtful. If you use it again it will be done so will full knowledge and intent to hurt and that would be very un-Christian.

I don’t doubt the abbreviation of RC came first and someone just saw the opportunity to corrupt it.

Considering the pronunciation isn’t even that close, since saying something that sounds like are-see is not the same as saying something that sounds like ars, it’s really just a matter of how offended someone chooses to be.

Nobody is pronouncing the letters *R* and *C* as *ars*, they are being pronounced as an *R* and a *C*.
