What is this ****e? Are you BH's evil twin brother?

 

[LEROY FER 10]

I thought you were Celtic

 

[Cyclonic]

Why is Celtic sometimes pronounced with a K? What's the diff?

 

[Girvan Loyal 1690]

Keltic is the correct pronunciation. I don't know why the tarriers say Seltic or Shellick

 

[monacoger]

I was told it was because at the first ever meeting the guy taking the minutes, wrote it down wrongly or something and it just stuck.

 

[Barrie Lochrie]

Some of them even say "Seltisé" as in "sel-tece" as it sounds more latin

I saw Bernard Ponsonby in Costco on Friday night, he was with a coloured gentleman and they looked to be 'close' if you follow..

A mispronunciation that has stuck.

I saw Ian McCall. He's lost a bit of beef. We were slagging him

The reason it's pronounced with a "soft c" is that the Irish cannot pronounce the full range of phonetic sounds so:
"candle" is pronounced "chandle"
"three" is pronounced "tree"
"the" is pronounced "da"
etc

 

[Bib Fortuna's Maw]

It's been mentioned on here loads of times.

The soft C was how the word was pronounced when Celtic were formed - the "Keltic" pronunciation didn't catch on until the sixties.

A bit like how people used to say "Bow-di-see-ah" instead of "Boudicca".

Celtic (the football club) was founded by a group of pawnbrokers, moneylenders and other nefarious characters in the business of ripping off the urban poor. What they all did was "sell tick" and thought this would be a good name for their new club. However, in a bid to disguise their shameful origins, they decided to spell it "Celtic".

Either that or Bib is correct.

How can it have been written down wrong? It's spelt the same way it just sounds different. **** sake Monaco.

You know what I meant you ****, trust you to pick me up on it! The guy reading out the minutes of the meeting said it wrongly or some **** like that!

 

[monacoger]

Anyway, the guy could have written it down as "sellick" and when the guy was reading it out, he said it how it looked so they kept the pronunciation, but changed the spelling!
