Its also a very nice hotel in London!Darce wrote:I belive Connaught is a old old wooden ship used during the civil war era???
seriously tho, 'Connaught' is the spelling ás Béarla and Connacht is the spelling ás Gaeilge.
My understanding is that you can call it either and that Connaught is the English translation of Connacht. Since I refer to "Leinster" in English not "Laigin" (or whatever we are.....) I tend to go for the English word. Not sure what "Turnipstan" is in Irish.....

Actually Flash
Cuige na Connachta is the Irish and not Connacht which is the modern English. Connaught is the Old English (to help the foreingers pronounce the blinkin place back in the day)...
Personally I get offended when Connaught gets used (or rather misused), simply becasue it's not used within the province itself at all so why should it be used outside.?
So der next person to do so (or dis the Connacht massive) vil be taken to a field und shot at dawn.....

Ach sure Flash with your fine Nordie heritage yersel', I'll have to let you off or take a beating from the little lady.
Sure with all ye have to bear, I suppose ye can't help it.
Just as well they have the road signs in both languages or finding your way out of the Pale would be an even more traumatic event ...eh?
I'll say no more......
