Just musing on dialects after a marvelous Burns night party.....
Doesn't every singer take on a language or accent challenge at some time? Think of the mondegreens that have resulted when things haven't been written down by the original author (if any)! Many of these mistakes are, of course, now enshrined as "collected versions" of whatever trad song one's elders tried to remember....
I'll continue to mangle Gaelic in public, as I mangle Burns' and Adge Cutler's (not to mention Leadbelly's) English.
Suffer, ye snobs.
The rest of you, let's party!
