    There's a rather fascinating scholarly paper from a few years back, describing the ability of our brains to process misspelled words correctly, when only letters central to the word are switched (as opposed to substituted for letters not found in the word).

    Consequently, when I see people writing "cilt", I initially process the word as something quite different.

    For example...when I read a post from a guy who states...

    "I wore my new cilt today!"

    I want to ask, "How's Tijuana these days?"

    At any rate, sew that kilt up and wear it without a sporran occasionally . Should be a great conversation starter .

    Thank you all for the interesting info about the spelling and language.
    Wildrover, I keep "seeing" that other word too. That is why I had to ask and I am glad I did. no disrespect intended to your original story Derek. I didn't mean for it to get off track.
