Yes, I misspelled that.

Excuse me for being born in a different country.

Don't worry, you're excused. It's not your fault that you were born American.

I want a cult.

Awesome.

Everyone loves you, even if they can't admit it to themselves.

Hi, I'm Raneman. I like to post shit about other users because I think that just because they're jackasses to everyone else but me that it's cool to be an asshat to them. I totally approve of impersonating users in completely incorrect ways (I'm partially blind and can't tell the difference between normal and bold text, you know?) and taking everything they say out of context because I'm new and I just don't get it.

That good enough?

Blorx, I don't think he is new.

Ren, I once met an Irishman, that called it Gaelic and not Irish. He was a funny guy, said he plays a game similar to hockey, where you are allowed to hit people with the stick as long as you don't hit the head. He also told a story about a Chinese learning Gaelic/Irish on his own in China and became quite good, but on arrival at Dublin airport nobody was able to understand him, because no Irish there could actually speak Irish.

Devilsclub and gopalraman were the same person. Incidentally raneman shows up at the same time devilsclub comes back. I doubt that's a coincidence.

I'm well aware of what he thought he was saying. The language is Irish, not Gaelic. In Irish, it is "Gaeilge". Goo-ale-guh. No one here calls it Gaelic. Ever. Only Americans call the language "Gaelic".

Those fucking scholars ... always have to bigify their words ...

That doesn't mean shit. He could have been only a month old before switching. I think Coli's the only example of any vet that needed an account change. Even my account change was really, really early on.

He was probably one of those people from America who claim that they're Irish. Anyway, I think in my 19 years living in this country, I know what people call it. I've never heard it called Gaelic. That's only something I see on the internet. The thousands of Irish (actually Irish) people I've spoken to against the one Irish guy (supposedly) you've spoken to.

You're not allowed to hit other players with the hurley in hurling, the only situation where it's allowed is when the referee's retarded. You're allowed to hook other hurleys with your hurley to stop someone else striking the sliotar.

Also, it's not really anything like hockey. The only similarity is that you hold a stick. That's like saying hockey is like javelin throwing, although that's slightly hyperbolising the matter.

This is actually quite accurate. There's been many documentaries on our Irish television network TG4 documenting that fact. Irish is somewhat of a dying language. However, we're all taught Irish in primary school and secondary school. It's a compulsory subject all through secondary, along with English and Maths, so we're basically taught Irish from around 4/5 - 17/18.

I would be quite fluent in speaking Irish, considering I went to my local Gaelscoil.

Is mise Aindriú. Chonaím in Éireann i gcontae Phort Láirge, agus fuair me mo scolaíocht as Gaeilge i Gaelscoil Baile Mhic Gunnair.
