Is Bitcoin Cash the same as Bitcoin classic? Sorry for the dumb question. 

I am confused to the status of Bitcoin classic. There is a lot of support for Cash on the Classic website which leads me to think they are the same. Also I see more news for Cash than for Classic. Also, was it not true the currency acronym 'BCC' was reserved for Classic? Now I see its used for Bitcoin Cash.

What is the difference between Cash and Classic forks?
Bitcoin Cash is an altcoin, i.e. a Bitcoin-like protocol and network that originated from hardforking Bitcoin chainstate. Bitcoin Classic was first a hardfork proposal and then an alternative implementation of first the Bitcoin protocol, then the Bitcoin Cash protocol.

Originally, Bitcoin Classic was a hardfork proposal that advocated for a blocksize increase to be activated with 75% hashrate support. To that end, the Bitcoin Classic repository maintained only the set of changes necessary to introduce said blocksize increase, rebasing this on top of the latest changes of the Bitcoin Core repository. When it became obvious that there was too little support for Classic, the Classic repository started to fall behind, work subsequently being discontinued.

Later, the Bitcoin Classic repository was revived by a developer as an alternative implementation of the Bitcoin protocol. They introduced a number of other changes into this repository instead of only maintaining the code for the blocksize increase. For a while, Bitcoin Classic cooperated with Bitcoin Unlimited, e.g. with both implementations rolling out support for thin blocks. Later, Bitcoin Classic maintained an alternative implementation of the Bitcoin Cash protocol. It was recently discontinued altogether.
