I think the Lisa was programmed in Pascal

I guess most people really can't distinguish between "C" and C.

Perhaps you should tell us the difference

Apple platforms were mostly developed in Object Pascal and Assembly, until they added support for C and C++, with MPW and Metrowerks compilers.

Then it was mostly in C++.

Apple platforms never were big C fans.

Ah, but were they "C" fans?

Never mind. My joke apparently went over everyone's head.

Was C ever really named "C" with the quotes? Was it supposed to be a reference—were "C-style strings" a key innovation of C over BCPL or something?

No, it wasn't, but it gets called that often enough for me to have made a joke about it.
