Hah. I never heard him do that, but it does sound like him. But are you sure he was feigning ignorance? Isn't the hard 'c' pronounciation really the correct way to pronounce the word? I know sports fans pronounce it "seltics," but isn't that kind of like the way Kentucky people pronounce the name of their town called Versailles as "Ver-Sal-es." Who is right?
