    ....and I hope it stays that way... things can be confusing enough sometimes where kilts or cilts are concerned.

    In Welsh a C is always hard like a K.

    Cymru (Welsh name for Wales) is another example.
    Reverend Earl Trefor the Sublunary of Kesslington under Ox, Venerable Lord Trefor the Unhyphenated of Much Bottom, Sir Trefor the Corpulent of Leighton in the Bucket, Viscount Mcclef the Portable of Kirkby Overblow.
