i dunno if you even read these but there was no way to contact you on main: activeg's post with that maitide person got the OP transphobically harassed. it's not even a real person's opinion, it's a fandom rp blog. a real person's being harassed for an opinion on veganism posted by a fictional character. both OPs have been requesting people take it down for harm-reduction purposes.

One of my favourite things is when someone doesn’t know the Irish for a word so they just put a fada on the English word See: sófa

Mise Raifteirí an File

Antoine Ó Raiftéirí

Mise Raifteirí an file, Lán dóchas is grá, Le súile gan solas, Le ciúnas gan chrá.

‘Dul siar ar m’aistear Le solas mo chroí Fann agus tuirseach Go deireadh mo shlí.

Féach anois mé Is mo chúl le balla, Ag seinm ceoil Do phócaí folmha.

I got 56%, and I consider myself fairly good at linguistic indentification. Make of that what you will.

(That said, even when I got them wrong, I correctly identified the language family even if not the specific tongue.)

I just have the sudden need to tell you that the Czech version of “in the middle of nowhere” is “kde lišky dávají dobrou noc”, which literally means “where foxes say goodnight”
