Good for you if you can pronounce those, but not everyone can.  I find
myself unable to pronounce {sc} without sounding like {c}, for
instance.  The sound could be padded (eg. with a short "i" sound) of
course, but not everyone will do that, and I think many listeners
would be confused as to whether they had heard {c} or {sc}.
