Then i will repair that subcat of C.

OK, didn't notice that. How about CPP or Cpp then? (is this case 
sensitive too?) I would like to have the category name short, dunno 
why ...

C# is not possible. C sharp is ok? It's case sensitive: C Sharp is a 
different cat ...

or consistent using the file endings: C, Cpp, Cs ?

Perhaps she learns how to adapt it for her language.

I don't like those tips with 'C/C plus plus'. They clutter the title too 
much.

BTW for searching, 3 letter queries dont work at the moment, 4 letter 
words do: compare search results for PHP and Perl ...
