Back when I was reading comp.lang.c, people would often wonder by to ask for help with their "C/C++" programs which typically turned out to be C++. Such people were usually surprised when it was pointed out to them that they were in a C newsgroup and that that is a different language from C++.
The confusion was widespread. It may have changed, but I wouldn't really expect that to be the case.
