Chester the Cheesemaker

* Nooalf (uppercase)
* Alphabest (lowercase)

**Chester the Cheesemaker** is a character in *Nooalf Friends*. He represents the voiceless post-alveolar affricate /tʃ/, as in "**ch**air".

## C drama incidents

The C drama incidents refers to a problem where the word "chum", when transcribed into Nooalf, spells out a slang term for something... very nasty. Let's just say it helped give birth to you, and it's pronounced /kʌm/.

### History

The issue started after Blobekman100 left this comment on the studio. MAPOER realized that they needed to change the letter, so he started to convince the managers to change it, and gabrieltheniceguy made Ꞓent The Bucket Maker. The others thought that it was "probably the worst replacement", and proposes to instead simply change the look of **Chester**. MAPOER decided to make more designs, all being something related to a backwards C (Ɔ). Eventually, the owner gave MAPOER a warning for replacing C and he was forced to stop.

However, this sort of problem isn't restricted to Nooalf. In EPA and ITA, the word "come" also spells out that nasty word, and in Old Unifon, the word "sum" also has a similar issue.

Because of this, TSRITW invented the "chum-come-sum" test. If a conscript can spell out all three of those words without accidentally implying... something else, it passes the test. If even one of those words spells out that aforementioned dirty word, it fails. He tested it with multiple conscripts, and here are the results:

He found out that if a conscript contains all of these:

* a plain C for /tʃ/, /k/, or /s/
* a plain U for /ʌ/
* a plain M for /m/

the conscript fails the "chum-come-sum" test.

## Trivia

* There was drama over this letter because it fails the "chum-come-sum" test. MAPOER, gabrieltheniceguy, and Blobekman100 tried to convince NooalfFan35 to replace C with another letter, including Ɔ (like in Karuk Unifon) and Ꞓ. It ended when MAPOER decided he will write "chum" as "TꞨUM".
* His asset was still a plain ol' C.
* To memorize his letter shape, remember that the letter C in English is used in the digraph "ch", which does in fact (usually) make the /tʃ/ sound.
* He has a Scratch Account, like many other Nooalf Friends.
