Leslie Nielsen Cilted

[Big Dave]

I was watching "Wrongfully Accused" (filmed in B.C.) the other day on T.V. and towards the end of the film, they all meet up at a Scottish festival. Lots of cilts, pipers and Leslie Nielsen steals a cilt and wares it for the rest of the film.

That's awesome! Gotta watch it!

Um, no... That's a Scottish Highland Games event, so he'd have stolen a kilt, not a "cilt."

The guy who got his 'Cilt' stolen, his father's, aunt's, cousin's, grandmother went to Wales once, so the spelling is justified.

I agree. My mind automatically interprets that letter-grouping differently, as explained in this thread >>>

I spell it "il" not "li" .

I live in Canada (not spelled with a 'K') and my father's side of the family is Welsh, so spelling 'cilt' with a 'C' seems more natural.

The Welsh "borrowed" the garment entirely - what's one more letter to take with it?

There is no k or q in the Welsh alphabet.
