I'm absolute cr@p at geography, but the average American beats me hands down. I love when you paint your insults with such a broad brush. It makes you look silly and pathetic all at the same time. Why are you so anti-American?

Sorry for the doble reply, but here[^]
It's a little country that took ownership of a big chunk of the world.
I can identify with that.

Ummm... that's a REALLY bad map.
Lets try this[^] one.

On a related note, founding Russia was probably the most stupid thing the Vikings[^] ever did.

There is nowhere further east than Russia, which extends to the 178th meridian, except a sliver of Alaska and a few Pacific islands. Pretty sure the Celts never made it to either. In any case I am aware of no evidence that the Celts as a recognisable people or culture ever made it further east than Turkey in the south and just over the border of Ukraine (which is not Russia, of course) in mainland Europe, so reliable sources or it didn't happen.
Any definitive statement about Russia being part of Europe is open to death by a thousand cuts depending entirely upon who you ask. In view of the antipathy between the Putin government and the European Union and the fact that almost none of its current possessions lie to the west of Turkey while the majority of its population lives to the east of the Urals and identifies as Eurasian or uniquely Russian (the so called third way) I would argue that Russia is in one of many periods where it is hardly European at all.

If it's the football club: Seltik
If it's the people/language: Keltik

OK, I've avoided reading any replies, so far, so tht I can give you the real answer, without getting carried away with taking the piss.
(0) "Seltic" is the race of people whom we call "Kelts", unless (1) (Yes, that's a confusing "unless", I know, but it's the English language, Guys, not C++)
(1) "Keltic" is the adjective (e.g. "a Keltic dagger", "the Keltic people").
(2) "Seltic" is the Glaswegian football team.

I avoid pronouncing it altogether; I only write it and when I write it I write it thusly: Celtic!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

like Keltic. In dutch we use the K (de Kelten) and apart from a dubious American football team I always hear it pronounced with a K.
|

I pronounce it as Cheltic, since I'm Italian and "Ce" is always and invariably pronounced as "Che".
On the other hand in Italian "Che" is always pronounced "Ke"... languages, they always surprise me.

But Italian doesn't have the letter 'K' does it?

What's that got to do with anything? It doesn't mean that don't have words pronounced with a 'k'. Take a stroll down a street in Cagliari and you'll hear plenty.

Traditional Italian doesn't, it has only 21 letters (there aren't J K X Y W)... but we already have all the phonems for them. Two phonems we didn't have and got from exposure to English are "sh" and "th" - the latter still giving us problems, as we often turn "th" sounds in the harsh "d".

My neighbor needs to organize (and be able to locate afterwards) documents, images, misc. notes, emails, and so forth. Ideally, I'd like to suggest something to her that lets her tag documents, cross reference them, etc.
Any suggestions?

Makes it easy to backup all your sorted data as well. (With all OneNote files in one folder.)

Up-vote on OneNote.
Plus if you use OneDrive with it you get redundancy and can access your info from web, phone, etc.
Link or insert documents, can OCR images, searches on everything, tagging, integration to other Office apps... not sure what else you need. Killer app.
