I didn't think it was used outside Italy but wikipedia said it's also used in English, so...

I wish it was short for "California". Would have loved to use my MacBook Air for 15 hours in California :-)
Ah thanks... I know what Circa is, I just never saw that abrv. used before. I usually use @ for circa. I think I've see it as c1235 and ~1235 for years.
