If you were playing this in a band, you might find the guitarist plays the 1-3-5 notes and the bass player plays the low G. On an acoustic, accompanying yourself, you might play this chord in its entirety to get the same musical effect.
C
C major
C over G
C with a G in the bass
C 2nd inversion
Most guitarists would say C over G

It's a C/G (or 2nd inversion) because it has the 5th (G) in the bass.

Its a C over G for me.

Lowering my expectations has succeeded beyond my wildest dreams.
A type of Oak?
is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?

If there was only that chord and nothing else, it probably has to be assumed G is the root / tonic right? So Gsus4add13 or something is perhaps TECHNICALLY correct. Its been many years since I studied theory mind!
If it forms part of a progression: Gsus4add13, Fmaj, Gmaj then it would make a hell of a lot more sense to spell it as C/G.
I always give the example to students when talking about this kind of thing or F# vs Gb for instance:
It's like THERE and THERE. They both sound exactly the same, but the different spelling makes it mean something entirely different.

FWIW, I use the third finger to play the 3rd fret C on the A string when I'm playing a standard C and let it mute the bottom E string so it doesn't ring out on those times when my pick hits it by mistake. Which is just as well, actually... :-)
