Latin didn't use K, except for in some imported words.  I think they got 
it from the Greek letter Kappa.  The Romans just used C for the hard 
sound, S was the soft sound, just like you said.  So from an historical 
point of view, it's the K that should go.  Latin also didn't originally 
have separate letters for u and v, or for i and j.  It's no accident 
they look so alike.  X was a fancy way of writing 'gs' or 'cs'.  So it's 
all pretty random. :p
