He agrees with me that "freedom" is better, thanks to Mel and Braveheart. So here is an easier one. Can anyone translate "freedom" into Irish and Scottish Gaelic with pronuctiations? Ta very much again. You have all been great! Queade

Pronunciation is one of my weaker skills, but I think it's either "SEER-sh@" or "SAYR-sh@" (I'm leaning toward the former). Wait for further input. Redwolf
