Celtic or Celtic themed Fantasy with American spelling, especially on the Irish or Scottish (or even Welsh) names or places. The Scottish football team has a weird wrong pronunciation.

I learnt last year that soft c and hard J is wrong for Classical Latin, which is more like old Irish. Julius Caesar is pronounced wrong as J is just an initial I and German Kaiser is close, which is where that and Tsar came from.
