Who were the Celts, you ask? They were a Boston basketball team who called themselves the Selts, not the Kelts. I think Teddy Kennedy used to get drunk and go see them play. I think we should get rid of the letter "C" and just use "S" and "K".

You have a point in that Celts is really Kelts (correctly pronounced with a hard K), and is derived from "Keltoi". It was the Greek word for these "secret people", The Lost Tribes of Israel.
