English Lesson

I feel compelled.
To all Clemson supporters:
This:
is NOT A DAMN "O."
I realize it looks cute and is very marketable, replacing the "o" in "Clemson" with it. But it is not, and never will be, a letter of the alphabet.
I know how you will rebut -- "But Dave, USC uses a Gamecock to start 'Carolina.'" No, it doesn't. It uses a block "C" with the bird in it, which still has the letter present.
It offends me as a writer.
