It is, but once again, we're not learning C. Despite it being a derivative of C, they are still two completely different languages with many key features separating them (otherwise there would be no Pawn!). Beginners have a very difficult time differentiating between languages scripts and especially their features. Telling someone with no experience what-so-ever to take lessons in C and then transform it to Pawn is a waste of time and effort (almost like learning C before C++). They would still be here asking general questions someone would get starting with Pawn, including those about C scripts. This is especially specific regarding this type of teaching approach.
