In the Cornell and Avi exchanges in this thread (about hard v. soft c in 
various environs) so far I haven't noticed any mention of the word 
"facade", which is routinely spelled this way and pronounced /f@ 'sa:d/ 
(hereabouts innyway) in English.  Granted, it's "supposed to" have a 
cedilla under the c, but most English-users don't bother (or don't know 
how or don't have the capability).  It's a pretty common word, and as far 
as I know nobody seriously spells it "fasade" or "faceade", or pronounced 
it "fakade"...

Oh, and Cornell, as far as I know Melville *doesn't _actually_* write in 
Esperanto.
