Can I attend one of those parties, Brea?

Anytime you like, Moon! I'm just starting a Scottish club at my university; I'll let you know when we hold our first ceilidh!

Well, I am sure all you Celts know that yesterday was the sacred holiday of Scots Irish Valentines Day- you know, the day all the chocolate goes on sale for half price? I do like to keep up the traditions of my ancestors who never spent a dime when a nickle would do.

Dearest Brea,

How do I pronounce "Slainte"?

Shanazel · 03-30-2008, 06:42 AM

Slawn-cha.

Moon · 03-30-2008, 09:48 AM

Thanks, dearest Shanazel

Why are you blushing, Moon? I only know this word because of years of attendance at St. Patrick Day parties and such. It is not like any form of Gaelic is actually based on known pronunciation of letters used to form the word.

That's about the only similarity it has with English

You either have to be born to Gaelic or dead to have enough time to learn it.
