I think you dropped a "not", i.e.,

Idiomatic C Code is *not* "usable with both C and C++."

I did not drop a "not".

Why in the world you thought I dropped a "not" is between you and your God.

Well, frankly I also thought you dropped a "not" and I'm not convinced
there was a call to be quite so rude. Idiomatic C can't be used in C++
unless you take great care to avoid all sorts of trivial C-isms and
add in extra C++ specific stuff.
