<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I can choose stop calling it Gaelic, but I deal with works from sources outside Sony Pictures where the language is identified as "Gaelic" and refers to Irish. I am not the person who inputs this language data into the systems and the many people who do are generally not language experts. I need to consider usability, not purist terminology. If I call it Irish, I can guarantee that Irish content will be classified as Scottish Gaelic. My dictionaries all indicate that Gaelic is a term that refers to Irish or Scottish language so I can't exactly tell other content providers they are wrong -- I can only tell them they are not precise. </font>

It is not. Irish is just Irish (stop calling it anything else and the<br>
problem is solved).<br>
