Also it’s illegal for an online virtual world to require a users social security number for any reason. . I must have missed this first time around. So is there an actual Virtual Worlds Requiring A Users Social Security Number For Any Reason Act? _____________________

Who are these Irish travellers you talk of? You mean the ones born in South London who speak funny?

Well there IS the matter of certain nicknames for sixpence that South Londoners (and indeed other Londoners too) use that came from Irish travellers...sprazi, anyone? But I digress. I'll go crawl back into my geeky linguist hidey-hole now... _____________________

Thanks, but I was referring to the linguistic stuff. Hi again Cherry, Apologies if my post seemed a little flippant.... Anyway, in a more serious tone... I'm of the opinion that Irish is becoming more and more popular nowadays. It's still a compulsary subject in schools, from what I remember anyway. In certain areas of Ireland called 'Gaeltacht', Irish is the only language spoken. I remember many children being sent by their parents on 'holidays' to the Gaeltacht...where they were only allowed to speak Irish. Sometimes I wish that I'd gone on one of those holidays... I know most of the basic words.. and I'd probably be able to make out the general gist of a conversation.... It's a wonderful thing to be able to converse in another language, and even better when that language is your own native one. What really 'got' me about the subject in school was too much emphasis place on correct grammar and verbs etc.... Perhaps if more emphasis was placed on the actual art of conversing .....might have been more popular. Not sure how it is in schools nowadays, probably a lot different. On another note, Scots Gaelic or 'Erse' is very similar to Irish Gaelic..... the subject of gaelic languages is quite an interesting one I think. |

As part of the promotion of the Gaeltacht, you must have at least basic Gaeilge to buy a house in that area. A wonderful idea Not sure how it is in schools nowadays, probably a lot different. We used use it for normal conversation when there were foreign students around, when trying to plan a night out and have it as a surprise. Its not very useful to do that anymore as the foreigners that have moved here have now started taking Gaeilge lessons. I could have a conversation As Gaeilge with a Polish person in my town no problem Its fab.Maith an cailín anyway for still having the basics _____________________

Ah yes, Bean an Tí and (agus) ceilí As part of the promotion of the Gaeltacht, you must have at least basic Gaeilge to buy a house in that area. A wonderful idea Up until a few years ago, it was compulsory in all Secondary School still, unless someone was in the "foundation" or low level study classes. We used use it for normal conversation when there were foreign students around, when trying to plan a night out and have it as a surprise. Its not very useful to do that anymore as the foreigners that have moved here have now started taking Gaeilge lessons. I could have a conversation As Gaeilge with a Polish person in my town no problem Its fab.Maith an cailín anyway for still having the basics This has really got me thinking.....I plan to take Irish lessons after Christmas..... Just think it would be amazing to be able to hold a conversation as gailge..... maybe we should build a 'gaeltacht' in SL.......wouldn't that be a trip and a half! |

Keep an eye on the papers, on the ads for the Sunday ones - sometimes they give away "Free Learn how to speak Irish" cd's. It might give you a start anyway. As for building the Gaeltacht in SL, that would be a hoot!  Do we get to sneak alcohol in there _____________________
