Idiom #163 Print list elements by group of 2

Print all the list elements, two by two, assuming list length is even.

Dim ItemList As New List(Of String)(New String() {"one", "one", "two", "two", "three", "three"})
For x = 0 To ItemList.Count - 1 Step 2
    Console.WriteLine(ItemList(x) & vbTab & ItemList(x + 1))
Next
#include <stdio.h>
for (unsigned i = 0; i < sizeof(list) / sizeof(list[0]); i += 2)
	printf("%d, %d\n", list[i], list[i + 1]);

I'm treating list as an array not a list because C doesn't have lists built in.
The length had better be even or there'll be undefined behaviour to pay!

New implementation...
