Sorry to drag this up again(I've been away)

Read that ancient post on how Irish people have so many words for different things.
A lot of this has a lot to do with dialects.
For instance, boats. In kerry and galway there are two different words for a particular type of small boat. Currach and Naomhóg. i've forgotten where they say what. but in one place they'll call it a naomhóg and in another they'll call it a currach. and they won't interchange

Maybe the reason we've so many words for boat is because boats were an integral part of gaeltacht communities. For instance the often repeated fact that eskimos have 50 or so words for snow(So often repeated i've forgotten the exact number)

Irish grammar ain't too bad. There aren't that many irregulars. Its actually getting to know all the vocab. thats challenging

Don't get me wrong, Lodder. I am actually a big fan of Irish culture, (language and especially literature). The article above is from one of my favourite Irish authors, Flann O'Brien aka Myles na Gopaleen.

lmao and you post about it on a forum?! I hope u have enough cash to keep ur girlfriend...

Don't get me wrong, Lodder.
Thank you ever so much

I know him as Flann O' Brien. I don't go for the literature side of things that much, i am not the reading type(except for anything by Bill Bryson)
The best part about irish culture is without a doubt hurling(sport)
It puts soccer and rugby to shame.

Ooooops - sorry, The Lopper.

I like the Stout/Whiskey part of Irish culture, too.

What he forgot to mention was that it was with himself.
