Whither the lolcats as Gaeilge? We cannot afford to be complacent. The Irish language will be consigned to the periphery of history unless we take action now. Young people will abandon a language that has no accomodation for lolcats.

If we are to address this issue in full, we have important decisions to make. What will be the nature of kitty pidgin as Gaeilge? Will they make TSF errors? Lenite when they should eclipse, and vice versa?

And most importantly, what is the Irish for lolcat? caitagoa? But that violates caol le caol...


lolcat
How about
catóg

Perhaps we should get Tadhg to address this important issue with his friends at An Coiste Téarmaíochta.

yes let it be masculine, but feminine on wednesdays, except for each month that doesn't end in r, in which case its feminine or thursdays and bank holiday mondays. Leap years excluded, cause its topsy turvey then. Then and only then, will it be a truly Irish word.

Finally we have a true and accurate explanation of Irish grammar and how it really works! Fair play duit!
