Ah the danger of Irish mispronunciation.
A funny story told to me by the past pres of the New York Celtic League... a neo pagan came up to him at a part and in hushed tones said, Do you do it? Liam pretended not to hear, the fellow repeted it several times, at which time Liam patted his arm and said, I am sorry but, though I don't feel anything is wrong with it perse, I am not gay! Red faced the neo pagan explained that he was self almost taught Irish and was trying to say Dia duit! Probably one of these fellows who sais Sam Hain rahter than sow win for Samhain - oh well, tred lightly on the mother tongue
