OH, OH, OH. I just thought of what might be up there at the very top: using "c" to represent the width of a tire. As in "I've fitted 30c tires on my bike". Oh how I wish that would just stop. I guess if every single wheel in the world was 700c, it might be OK. But not.
It doesn't help that spare tires and tubes are labelled this way. They usually say 700 x 28c when in fact they should be labelled 700c x 28 because 700c is the accepted nomenclature for a tire or tube that fits on a 622mm rim.
