Modifyiing the argument:
"Taffy was a Welchman", but most certainly not Welsh.
Thank goodness for that.
Actually, don't you think most of the time that 'Welch' is used, it
comes out of England, e.g. Welch Guard? Or on English TV? I've
never seen the spelling used in Wales. Funny that this should be
because the term is originally Anglo Saxon with an 's' in it,
meaning "strange" or "foreigner". Let's move forward and use the
Welsh word for adjective Welsh, 'Cymreig'.
Thomas Roderick, 9/32 Welsh (better, Cymreig), I don't have any Welch
blood in me.
