Posting 'as Gaeilge'...

[cogito]

As MKM said you have to open your eyes and find the thread....but then again you are male! With regards to posting in Irish, as long as it it respectful and makes sense it should not be a problem, however, as many people here do not speak Irish and would not know how to translate it could be considered rude or arrogant. ~A particular poster who has posted as Gailge would fall into this description on all counts! Oh, and if you misbehave the mods here react fairly and speedily!!!!!

Tosac maith .... leat an obair ...... go neiri an bothar leat Kiddeh.

excuse me rippo....speaka de english.......brat lol

Above listed from another thread - and in my opinion needs clarification. Why would it be considered 'rude or arrogant' for a native Irish person to speak in their own language on what's considered to be an Irish forum... ??

I think that it would be great if posts in Gaeilge were translated into English for us posters that didn't get a chance to learn out native tongue when we went to school I would so love that

I didn't say it would/wouldn't be rude or arrogant, I'm just saying you didn't quote WM properly.
