When writing or speaking words with the letter C in them, couldn't it easily be replaced by an S or a K?

Car = Kar
Justice = Justise

The only place I think it's needed is for the 'ch' sound.

I'm just thinking out loud lol, ignore me

Pronunciation is still different so no

Justice doesn't sound like "justise" in my head. Justise seems like it would be said "just-eyes"...Well thats just my opinion

People are only just catching on to how the Germans' language has been ridden of the letter C (not in all cases, of course).
