5. Sorry, I'm only familiar with Scottish Gaelic.

I'm sure you'll pick it up quickly though. The grammar is simplistic and pronunciation is self evident. :evilgrin:

9. My nanny spoke Irish Gaelic
I never learned to be fluent. Between studying that and Russian I wrecked my ability to spell.And I still can't speak either.

Khash.

11. Don't know about making you fluent by tomorrow but
If you want to give me a few phrases I can give you actual / phonetic translations.

It was beaten into me at school a long time ago but I might still have some left.

15. LMAO.....oh man.....my first trip to the Lounge in MONTHS.....
I barely sneak in and out of GD just to see what's up lately.

I was actually going to post a serious computer question. So I scan down the threads and see nothing serious going on at all. I continue for the heck of it and then, for whatever reason, your post CRACKED ME RIGHT THE FUCK UP!!!!!!!! A Depends moment for sure. :)

I want whatever you people are smoking. Or drinking. Or eating. Or all of the above.

Thanks! :toast:

(Oh, good luck with that Gaelic thing. ;) )
