Ha, the top result for C is the spec. Every other language is a popular library.

I wonder if there are more RTFM-type responses for C than other languages.

I suspect it has more to do with the large amount of undefined/unspecified/implementation defined behavior in C. A lot of questions on Stack Overflow can only be answered correctly by referring the the standard.
