[quote=lynnicks]You are a very defensive person[/quote] It's not a matter of defensiveness. I just object to inaccurate, uninformed interpretations of my words that are turned into meaning something they weren't at all. Unlike yourself, others chose to do this without acknowledging the explanation, so I appreciate that you did. It isn't difficult, and I've done it many times myself. Apparently some find it impossible, though, and THAT in itself is indeed a form of defensiveness. Why does the dictionary spell it 'siog' instead of 'sioga'? My hubby is Irish (of the blue-eyed, black-haired variety) so I have a minor interest in the language of his ancestors. I've heard it spoken and it's a pretty language.
