Wow, I don't think I've ever publicly shared my notions of the Irish language before - I didn't realize I had so much to say about it!
There's a big nervous/anxious feeling come over me now, and I am seriously considering deleting all of these rants. That said I also know that I'm trying to make the Irish language relevant to me - and I'm doing something about it - so I guess it's not too bad.... (yikes...)
