Is it now totally "kool" to spell things with a k? I guess I'm not "katching" on. Either way, whoever thought of spelling it that way needs a good kick in the "krotch".

Does it have anything to do with my akcent? Is spelling it with a k instead of a c making it highly kritikally akklaimed?

Actually this thread made me remember witch Ultimecia from Final Fantasy VIII... she talked like that and was from the future, so your assumptions might be correct.. maybe we will all use K's some time from now

Africa is spelled 'Afrika' in a number of European countries. Also, that's how the people from AfriCa spell their country's name.

Yup. South Africa's national anthem is spelled with a "k"

I think it might be because you are a retard, but I'm not sure.
Maybe it's similar to Brazil/Brasil.
People who use an "s" only do it to be kool.

Really it is supposed to be spelled with a "s" but in English we replace it with a "z."

Also as others have mentioned, I think only in US and British English do we spell Africa with a "C" and just about all other countries spell it "Afrika."

I was unaware that Africa united into one country.

Perhaps you meant continent, or meant to be more specific and say South Africa?
