McGrath -- "Then there's "Celtic" which is hard when it's music and soft when it's football"
Not in our household. It's "seltic" all the way and always.
Probably the only place left on the planet.
True-Love was a linguist and he can never let "Keltic" go by. Unless people are willing to write it down and spell it with a "K". Which would fit with classical rules, but slow down the conversation.
