Off off topic, a Turkish speaker might pronounce "cill"
as an English speaker would pronounce "jill"
(and "çill" as "chill").
I don't think that either "cill" ("cil") or "vank" are Turkish words, though, but I haven't checked.

@vnikolov @dougmerritt @screwlisp @vindarel @sanityinc @jackdaniel Neither 'Kill' (for copying) nor 'Yank' (for pasting) are good mnemonics anyway. 'Kill' suggests permanent deletion; 'Yank' suggests taking something 'out', not putting something in. But, in any case, we don't type with mnemonics, we type with muscle memory, so it's completely irrelevant what keys are used provided they conform to the standard used by every other program you regularly use.
