Subject: RE: Celtic vs Celtic: Which is Correct?
I call the Boston Celtics the Boston Seltics and them folks who migrated all over the map of Europe, the Kelts.

Now here is another thing: Most people say erb for herb. But that is French as in "La Petite Dejuner sur la Herbe" But my girl friend says Herb (like Herbert) and I go along with that since we aren't French and erb for herb seems wrong when the French word is herbe (for lawn or grass) Most people don't say erbivore, or erbaceous or erbacide, so why erb?

Gotta go take my herb tea now, ta!
