Well, Chris -
I have to say I prefer transliterations without all the diacritical marks. The diacriticals cause all sorts of trouble for our displays and search engines. A standard for Irish transliteration would be most helpful.

As for what I would accept for English-language lyrics, I'd say I'd accept anything that's authentic, and that means I've had to accept a variety of spellings for some words. Those who insist that there is only one spelling for this or that are very often not only pedantic - they're wrong.

Chris, in my Forum Moderator role, I note that you've posted a number of messages today without using a name in the "from" blank. We don't require posters to register, but we do require them to use a consistent posting name. Anonymous messages like yours risk being deleted - the one above was the only one with a name at the end, and none had a name in the "from" box.
