Spelling 'ceilidh' becomes a running joke
Original: “That’s been a running joke... Is anyone spelling ceilidh right?”
Staff and performers are laughing about a recurring problem: people repeatedly misspelling the word 'ceilidh', the traditional Scottish Gaelic social gathering with music and dancing. The joke, quipped from the Crush Bar, captures how often the unusual spelling trips people up in signage, listings and everyday writing. Anyone who has typed 'ceili', 'kaylee' or 'cely' will recognise the frustration.
Why now: People enjoy shared jokes about commonly misspelled words, and 'ceilidh' is a frequent culprit.
