C is a relatively simple language (although it still requires a lot of time and effort to learn to use it effectively), while C++ adds a significant amount of complexity.
C++ is not an Object Oriented programming language. It is a multi-paradigm programming language that supports OO, as well as other styles of programming. It requires a lot more effort to write OO software in C.
Not true - I have encountered several people who had only learned C++, and they all did extremely poorly when it came to C interview questions (particularly with things like strings).
Regarding which language to learn: If you're only interested in learning so that you can write mud snippets, then I would agree with Unifex and suggest C. In fact I use several (of my own) C snippets in my own C++ codebase - I just encapsulate them in a namespace - even though they were originally designed to work on muds written in C.
