I was using the term C earlier, but it was causing some confusion when I was asking questions. I guess I'll just stick with it, then.

I'll give that a shot, thank you.

C - a plain, procedural language
C++ - superset of C, it supports C *and* offers more stuff (not only object-oriented programming)
Objective-C - Apple's language, it supports C *and* offers object-oriented programming

A bit informal, but you should distinguish all three. You can program C stuff in both C++ and Objective-C, but it's considered low level in general.
