Hi Creag,
Both are acceptable. Dropping the -agh at the end is the same with the word for day - latha, you can simply drop the -tha and use là. There are probably a few more words that do this. It doesn't change the pronunciation so there is no need for the letters that are being omitted.

Tha mi ag ionnsachadh rud ùr bho gach post.

Re: The negative imperative form
That makes sense. I read somewhere that when using the imperative, you're not asking permission to do something but making a command or a suggestion. Also that the most regularly used would be faic, faicibh and faiceamaid. [In this case the 2nd person sing, 2nd person pl. and 3rd person pl.] Faic is...

Re: Occupations
So could any of the examples be used or is it a case of just learning the correct form for each occupation?

Duilich.

Stupid mistake using ort instead of agad but can I ask why beagan is going before Gàidhlig and not after it?

I am still none the wiser. Ruithiche Ruithear Ruitheadair Fear/Bean ruith 's e ruithiche a th' annam looks right to me. 's e u...

A shame some of the commentators beneath the story don't share our enthusiasm.

Online, I find this one useful

but if you want a hard copy then the best dictionary is Dwelly's illustrated Gàidhlig Dictionary. It is available on Amazon for about $27

Re: What Made You Want To Learn Gàidhlig?
Dh' ionnsaich mi 's a Ghàidhlig a chionn bha Gàidhlig aig mo sheanair. Bha e à Geàrrloch agus phòs e mo sheanmhair, bha i à Dùn Èideann agus chan eil Gàidhlig oirre idir idir.
