Play on Letters / Acronym

I'd heard the C# was named C# by putting the 2 '+' plus characters together to make the # symbol. And that makes sense. First came C, C+, C++ & C#.

I just noticed an association I hadn't made before. 'C' is the 3rd letter of the alphabet. On your keyboard '#' shares the key with 3.

If the first time is a throw away... then C# is version 3 of C.

Ok... I'll stop there.
