Both are right—just operating in different domains. ‘Keltic’ preserves etymology; ‘Seltic’ reflects linguistic evolution. It’s a neat example of how language carries both history and habit at the same time

How do you pronounce "Celtic"?

If you're a basketball fan, you probably say "Seltic." If you study history or linguistics, you probably say "Keltic." So who's right?

Both pronunciations are in the dictionary, but they have different histories. The original Greek word used a hard K sound. But English got the word from French, where is starts with the S sound.

For centuries in English, the S pronunciation dominated — which is how Boston's basketball team got its name in 1946. 1/2

Says a lot about modern life when a postponed obligation feels like the only gateway to rest. Hope you make the most of that quiet space

Was supposed to have a procedure today that had to be moved to tomorrow, but I already cleared today. It’s extremely rare to have a day where no one is counting on me for anything time sensitive. Going to try and just rest.

@anolandria That’s a strong claim, but it oversimplifies a complex system. The U.S. is a democracy with real flaws—economic inequality, influence of capital—but calling it ‘slavery’ ignores both historical context and the mechanisms people still use to push for change
