Is it just me, or is anyone else transposing those middle 2 letters whenever they see the word cilt? I'm finding it very distracting. Especially since there are no words in the English language that start with 'ci' where the 'c' is pronounced like a 'k'. (Incedentally, that goes for words that start with 'ce', too) Is there a linguistic reason of some sort to spell the word with a 'c' when it's a kilt being worn by a Welshman? Is it a different garment? I apologize if this was explained already. I missed it.
