In American public restrooms, they're in a "C". In British loos, they're in an "O". Why in the world would we choose "C" and expose that little piece of dirty toilet bowl?

Home toilets are an O. C's are only public restrooms, generally in the guys toilet, so the guys don't pee on the seat when they are too lazy to raise the seat to pee.
Sad but true.

Well if you want to get technical it is because the origins of the word are andswerien, andswerian, andswarian and andswaru all meaning to answer. So the kept the w in place because it was in the original spelling. I agree with you though it is sort of a silly letter to be there because it serves no purpose, but now that I have grown accustomed to spelling the word that way I couldn't imagine spelling it any other way. Anser =( Ansir =( Answer =) It just doesn't look right misspelled. It will just have to be among the other words with silent letters that really don't need to be there such as.. castle..silent t and handkerchief..silent d Good question though =)
