aluminium or aluminum?

It just sounded more sophisticated that way I think

 

The Boston Celtics basketball team uses the pronunciation (sell-tics) rather than kell-tics


Hotwater

 

meh. aluminum. as an american if you say it the other way you look like a twat.

 

I don't like sel-tic. Keltic is the original pronunciation, so I am happy with it.

 

Speaking a dead language is pretty cool.

How do I insult someone's fat mother?

 

I've managed to slaughter most of my Texan accent, but I say 'nuculer'.

 

Hahaha. Yet another situation where saying it right makes you look like a twat if you're American.

 

Its not a dead language, its in the same boat as Irish. Pockets of the country just speak Irish called the Gaeltacht areas. Not too far from a Gaeltacht where I am, Gaelscoils just teach through Irish as well and theres at least one of them in each town.

 

It's pretty dead outside of Ireland though.

 

alluminium here in ol' NZ. as for celtics.. i got bummed out when i was in highschool thinking the basket ball top red Keltics. hmmm. seltics they said. seltics.
bad fish can you speak gaelic?
if so- you are awesomeow

 

I googled it dawg. 600,000 speakers. There are many more speakers of pig latin.

I don't think your grandkids will speak welsh.

 

Of course I can :tongue: We have to learn Irish in school from 4 years old, I wish I could speak it more fluently though, I can talk fine with it but not as good as English.

 

Debatable :tongue:

 

bloody hell thats impressive. gah. IMPRESSIVE. i want irish babies who learn gaelic. then id start a gaelic army.

 

:toetap05:

IRA? :tongue:

 

hahahaha fair play. my heart lies in belfast though mdear. (dont beat me)

 

Sorry, I'm in a mean mood today!

 

All good

 

Hah, it's not a dead language at all. It's the majority language of the North, a good half speak it in mid Wales and although the south there is a considerable amount of English speakers- it's still heard regularly.

It's not a massive language, but you are wrong, it's definitely not dead. Unless you have been to Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch and observed the local dialect

Yes, that's a real place name. Wicked huh?

 

By the by, there's not even 3 million people in Wales, so that's still quite a chunk for a dead language

You are being really stupid. The number is increasing at the moment anyways.
