  • hernesheir commented on the word welshite

    Wilfred R. Welsh, science teacher, auxiliary police officer, motorcycle enthusiast, amateur mineralogist of upper Saddle River, New Jersey, past President of the Franklin Mineral Museum, and a significant benefactor to that institution, where his mineral and fossil collection now reside. With all Mr. Welsh's accolades and accomplishments, one would think the author of this name (Dr. Paul Moore) might have chosen one that didn't end infelicitously in -shite.
