	The word "Celts" is pronounced "Kelts", in spite of the
mispronunciation popularized by the NBA team in Boston.

The mispronounciation by the Boston NBA team is also 
promulgated by the Scottish soccer team, the Celtic 
Rangers. But what would they know being from Scotland
and all?

The Romans built Hadrian's Wall for a reason y'know. B-)
