JUST A FUNNY COMMENT: Over the 40 years I have gone to sea, I have heard the word CELESTIAL pronounced CELESTRIAL many, many, many times. But I have NEVER seen it written in the mispronounced form. NO OFFENSE MEANT.
“”“Celestrial-Event.com is committed to the efforts of our designers who have taken the time to assist us in the complete liberation from the restraints of having to buy expensive clothing twice.”""
On second thought I might just want to take the celestial class

Just my way of being humerous and to say that your spell checker was right, there is such a word as celestrial. I would never have known that if it wasn’t for your thread…thanks, you are a cornucopia of worthless information…as am I.

Just so we’re all clear, spell check or not, the word “celestrial” cannot be found in the Oxford or Merriam-Webster Dictionaries. If Stephen Colbert starts using it, that may change.
