Welsh and Gaelic both translate the same.
Heather. What is the difference? Is it a Scotland thing?

Wow, Google Translate knows Welsh. It turns out that Heather's comment has

Pretty much OT, but Davy was a really interesting man: look him up in
Wikipedia. Before I read that article, all I knew about him was the clerihew:
Sir Humphry Davy
Abominated gravy
He lived in the odium

As I am fond of saying, "Americans expect everyone else in the world to learn
our language, as we refuse to learn theirs”.
Same with the Scrabble lexicon; CSW is rather larger. Two different dictionary

I love how the word for "vowels" is almost entirely made up of vowels.
Which brings me to my favourite Welsh word. For microwave. Popty ping. Ok so

Sir Humphry Davy, the same one responsible for the confusion in the term/name.
So, the same place as our American cousins.

I will donate "aluminium" for them. I don't know where they got that.
Oh, and don't forget Wales. They only have one sorta vowel, "y", and they
make do with random consonants when they run short.

Oh, dear I almost forgot.
It’s time for my annual vowel drive!

No, it doesn't Rick. It's just a typo in the example in the dictionary.
