Tha fhios'm gur e gnìomhachas a th'ann ann an a bhith bruidhinn mu dheidhinn Gàidhlig sa bheurla ach saoilidh mi gur e deagh àite a th'ann an Gaelic Guerilla gus sin a dhèanamh. Thuirt e:

I'm just hacked off about the picture of a "gorilla". It's either Gaelic Guerrilla or it's Gaelic Gorilla -- it can't be both.

I think the last time the Basques marketed a Basque-language tool/event/something in Spanish was in the Franco-era. Nice to see we're moving with the times.

Remember that this is by Meedoo Media, the Gaelic webdesign company with a website in... English. Run by Rhoda Meek, the woman who set up a Gaelic café with a website in... English. And when potential customers questioned this state of affairs? She published a huffy rant berating us for not going to her café. Well stuff that. Advertising matters, and the message I (and a lot of other people) got was that the Gaelic bit was nominal. There's clear echoes of that attitude at the top right of the GG page: "Don't like it? GG has a suggestion..."

I'm not a fan.

Mo Chreach sa ...***!!!XXX###..!!!!... thaing!

Eisdibh ribh fein !

S'e deagh oidhirp a th'ann - Goireas feumail son luchd ionnsachadh na tha ach beagan sgillean ! Cuiridh mi geall nach robh sgillean dearg a tighinn as an sporran poblach.

De an feum air sanasan Gaidhlig mura bheil an luchd-cheannach comasach gan leughadh !

Cumaibh orraibh a GG.

Tha feum againn air barrachd mac-meannma agus nas lugha na Gearran agus na callagairachd !

Óbh-óbh, nàire oirm, agus bheir mi ho-ro 's mar sin.

Tha mi duilich airson smaointinn gun robh cànan a bh' anns a' Ghàidhlig ann an àite cur seachad.

Ach tha mi a' tuigsinn an-drasta gu bheil the way forward for Gaelic speaking about it in English. After all, we wouldn't expect to actually talk such a barbaric backward tongue, would we? Oh, good heavens above, no!

Fuirich mionaid, a bhalaich !

Chunnaic mi an mhilleadh a thainig a bheachdan trom mar seo.

Cuiridh iad h-uile iomart gu bas gun cothrom a fas or chan eil cail ann math gu leor, anns an suilean aca fheil co-dhui, agus aig cheann an latha, bha iomadach cothroman son leasachaidh a Ghaidhlig air call.

A bheil fios agad ma tha Gaidhlig aig an sgriobhadair - ma dh’fhaodte e air a dheanamh son goireas ionnsachacd dha fhein - agus a cuir air an eadar linn son dhaoine eile a cuidichadh - Co aige tha fios ?

Tha feum mhor againn air iomairtan ur agus gach seorsa smaoin ur a tha togail uidh an canan.

S'fhearr a bhith brosnachadh agus toirt taic agus misneachd do dhaoine.

Nach eil sin ag ràdh dhuit gu bheil Gàidhlig aig an sgrìobhadair?

Agus mar a thuirt mi, 's ann bho Meedoo Media a tha e -- tha seo air a sgrìobhadh air làrach Meedoo fhéin -- agus 's e companaidh Gàidhealach a th' ann am Meedoo, bha an stiùireadair air sgioba Dè-a-Nis airson greis mhór. Chuala mi gur e nighean àrd-ollamh a th' innte cuideachd.

Air ur socair a bhalaichibh :)

Tha an ceart aig Each, gum feum thu Beurla a chleachdadh (cuideachd) ma tha thu a' reic càil do dhaoine aig nach eil Gàidhlig mhath fhathast.

Ach aig an aon àm, 's e feallsanachd car neònach a th' ann, ar leam, an rud a chaidh a ràdh aig ceann na duilleig.

Tha fhios agam gu bheil Beurla gu leòr air Akerbeltz anns na h-àitichean far a bheil mi a' mìneachadh gràmar is rudan mar sin ach tha làrach Gàidhlig gun Ghàidhlig (agus cuimhnich gu bheil làraichean-lìn mar uinneagan bùtha an-diugh) car... lom, nach eil?

PS agus mar a chithear nuair a nì cuideigin (eadar GOC is an rud seo), nochdaidh tu cothrom do dhaoine gearan a thogail...

Carson Beurla? B' fheàrr leamsa Cuimris fhaicinn na Beurla. Dè mu dheidhinn Spàinnis? Gearmailtis? Fraingis? Ruisis?

Cia mheud Albannaich a th'ann aig a bheil Spàinnis no Gearmailtis a mhàin?
