The English that the Irish speak

[nud1e]

It was once said, and it was a very long time ago, that the best English was spoken in Dublin.
Now "look" has become "luk", from almost the highest to the lowest it's "luk at this", "if you have a luk at the latest figures". Politicians, reporters, commentators are all having a luk.
When will this verbal corruption end?
over to you PJ?

well to you southern crowd . The English Language may be the
accepted tongue ,even in its most bastardised Form ! Here in the North we can only celebrate the
resurgance of the Irish Language.

out on the bike one Saturday, up a little boreen on the side of a mountain in donegal, i met a very interesting man walking along the road,
he told me about the time he went to work on the buildings in England and only for he met a few lads from mayo on the boat he was fecked.
ya see the lads from mayo could speak Irish and English, but he had not a work of English.
the mayo lads had to teach him how to order food or anything like that.
he said to me how can a man call himself Irish if he cannot speak the language,
he made me think about my copula focal
did i say he was a very interesting old man, amazing what you can find on a boreen up the side of a mountain in the gaeltacht in donegal.


and no it was not civil
