*wince*

To any other Irish-speakers who may come across the conversation I'm currently having with Peter, I'd like to apologise for my frankly appalling Tuiseal Ginideach. Woe. I finally finished studying Irish in July, when I left school, let out a 'whoopee!' and banished it utterly from my mind.

So, yeah. I suck.

I think you did an utterly brilliant job. I only know a little bit of Scottish Gaelic (which is related, of course, but not the same) and well...I was, and am, in awe.

And Peter loves his new nickname. Not that he's saying anything, but he does.

And thank you for a great RP session. That was a lot of fun.

[sophistry]

Irish is compulsory here, and has been the bane of my life for many a long year. Who'd'a thunk it'd ever come in useful? I tell you, my eyes damn near bugged out of my head when I recognised Gaelic words on the page.

*bows down to the mistress of RP*

Also, Crowley will make a point of addressing Peter by variants of his nickname at least once a night. 'S the great thing about RP-ing a demon who has been mooching around the world for six thousand years; nobody looks twice when you start speaking in another language, since Crowley can speak more than he knows what to do with.

But dude, you know Scots Gaelic? *squees*

A little Scots Gaelic. A very very very little. I can't speak it; I've never heard it spoken, actually. I can read and write some simple sentences, if I have access to a Gaelic-English dictionary.

Nothing like your knowledge of Irish. Nothing at all.

Peter will be thrilled. And will probably try desperately hard not to show that. (Honestly. Sometimes he can be such a GUY.)

Now I want to make Peter a baseball cap with 'Lámh-Airgead' written across the front. And, you know those little clappy-hands? A pair of those. Except, y'know, one is silver. :D

Um...actually do not know about the little clappy-hands. What are they?

Y'all, that was such a cool conversation to find in my inbox this morning. Thanks for the Friday treat. :)

Dude. My son will be gacking all your old notes, quizzes, vocab lists and so on and so forth ad infinitum..

*was so impressed*

I tried, you know, to learn, to keep up with him. But y'all's mother tongue makes no damn sense. The things you do to verbs are probably the reason Ireland has so many saints. They're needed for grammatic intercession.

*remains impressed*
