Of course it's <ee> instead of "cc".  It's <ee> instead of the
obvious western reading "cc" because <ee> is more pronounceable,
and we certainly need to be able to pronounce it if we're ever
going to understand it.

I also understood <Ee> some three years ago when we were having
our wall-to-wall on this subject but can't find its faithful
execution in any currently available EVA transcription, which
causes me to go back, as you say, and "visually" make changes
where I think they should be, instead of being able to push a
button or program a few lines to make those modifications
globally.  Never fear, my efforts will have its shortfalls as
well.
