Foyb
le Gwalegguh na kathruk? (Litir)
(Fadhb le Gaeilge na Cathrach?)

This is a letter to the editor. It is written in Irish spelled like an English speaker who did not know written Irish would write it. Our
assignment was to “correct” the Irish spelling. This was hard! I missed a lot. However, I am pleased that I could figure what “fuckul”
and “whorebirtch” meant :->

1. Dun chay lenna myinnin shay, Duh vee, loyk, coopla foyb agwUM lesh an alt a skreve Scott de BootLAYR, roysh? Jaydfaw uh raw gur baydir gur loyk rubbil shay suas sa truh mee-ceart may?

   Don té lena mbaineann sé, do bhí, loyk, cúpla fadhb agam leis an alt a scríobh Scott de BootLAYR, roysh? Déadhfá a rá gur b’fhéidir gur loyk rubbil sé suas sa treo míceart mé? Feictear dom go bhfuil soyas false consciousness Air an gayd dull síos, tá an ráiteas úd faoi Thuaisceart éireann, gur loyk, tír eile atá i gceist? Well tá mise den tuairim le fada an lá gur saghas tír eile é Baile átha Cliath feinig, agus gur b’fhéidir go bhfuil bunús muintir na cathrach ag loyk, liveil i mbubble o thaobh na Gaeilge de??

2. Is cussOOL guh gappin Scott buckt go vwil moonchir na Gwayletukta ag, loyk, kaha anoose ar a cudge Gwaylegeh mar gur loyk, shower of snobby boggers eed? FAWreer taw misha den toorim nuk owly ataw.

   Is cosúil go gceapann Scott bocht go bhfuil muintir na Gaeltachta ag, loyk, caitheamh anuas ar a cuid Gaeilge mar gur loyk, shower of snobby boggers eed? Faraor tá mise den tuairim nach amhlaidh atá. Ní air blasanna na Ardcathrach a bhí Colm ó Broin ag caint, uk ar, loyk, kanOONT na cathrach? sé sin nach bhfuil ann, loyk, leannúnachas ann? Ní hea go bhfuil cuid ackuh ag labhairtGaoluinne is cuid eile ag labhairt Gaoluinne eile ag labhairt Gaeilge no Gaedhilice,ach go gceapann siad, cosúil le cuid de Gaeilgeoirí Bhéal Feirste, go bhfuil an gcanúint fein aige ackuh, direach mar go bhfuil a mblas fein aige?
