For those of you who are not familiar with lolcats, see: http://www.dashes.com/anil/2007/04/23/cats_can_has_gr http://lolcats2.com/ http://icanhascheezburger.com/ 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... _________________ Seans Eile - free software to help you practice your Irish Scéala na Wombait - Muddle-headed Memes and Musings

But maybe the plural would be catagoaí. Anyway, for your lol, I hereby present what I believe to be the first ever catagoa... _________________ Seans Eile - free software to help you practice your Irish Scéala na Wombait - Muddle-headed Memes and Musings

Tá "lol" in úsáid i dteangthachaí eile, thiocfadh linn é a úsáid i nGaeilg gomh maith. _________________ Is fearr Gaeilg chliste ná Gaeilg bhriste Learn the sounds of Irish here: http://www.loig.cheveau.ifrance.com/irish/irishsounds/irishsounds.html & http://fsii.gaeilge.org/
