Thread Name: The ' fada ' in Irish vowels
Subject: RE: The ' fada ' in Irish vowels
I'm a native speaker of ENGLISH, Mick! Bh¡ m‚ thar fiche bliain d'aois s£la thoisigh m‚ Gaeilge a fhoghlaim. We had the discussion about how to make shortcuts for accents in the help forum, and no one knew. Though someone suggested a freeware programme and I don't know what it does. Look over the help messages of the past month and you'll find a fada thread.
I'm not responsible for the set-up of the Sabhal M•r Ostaig computers that I use most of the time - but I'll ask the person who is and see if I can understand his explanation - which will be in Scottish Gaelic as well as in computerese.
Andreas, that sounds good - must take a look when I have time.
Mike, Are we really going to have to resubmit all our old lyrics if we want them to look right again?
