Thread Name: Celtic vs Celtic: Which is Correct?
Subject: RE: Celtic vs Celtic: Which is Correct?
"The reason the Boston Celtics and Glasgow Celtic and all those other sports teams founded around 1900 (give or take a couple decades)
pronounce their names \SELL-tick[s]\ is not because they were founded by ignorant folk who didn't know any better, but because
they spoke English and *did* know the proper pronunciation of the English word "Celtic".
"
