The State’s perspective on the Irish language and its speakers has become indistinguishable from that of British colonial rule.
Ireland’s power class has a colonial attitude to the Irish language

@coistenabhfocal@ForasnaGaeilge@eabhloid@LoveLeabharG Thaifead an Raidió go leor de na leabharthaí seo ach tá siad go fóill sa chartlann, gan craoladh arís le fada an lá , bheadh sé ina thogra maith na taifid úd a chur in oiriúint do chlosleabhar anois nó leaganacha úra a thaifead
An bhfuil aon phlean ag comhlachtaí cosúil leis An Gúm srl leagan closleabhar a thaifead de chuid de na leabharthaí móra ón chéad seo chuaigh thart? Cré na Cille, Mo Bhealach féin srl ?
Bheadh rachairt orthu @ForasnaGaeilge@eabhloid@LoveLeabharG
Gan cigireacht Scéim Labhairt na Gaeilge “oiriúnach do pháistí an lae inniu” a deir Roinn na Gaeltachta ach Tuismitheoirí na Gaeltachta ag iarraidh na Scéime ar ais.
"tá Gardaí ag iarraidh filleadh abhaile go Gaeltacht Thír Chonaill, tá Gaeilge líofa acu ach níl siad in ann an aistriú sin a fháil cé go bhfuil folúntais agus bearnaí ann" a dúirt @PearseDoherty le @beirni ar 7LA
"In áit dúinn a bheith ag caint ar b'fhéidir 5,000 breise sa stát seirbhís in aghaidh na bliana do Ghaeilgeoirí, dá mbeadh 1,000 Gaeilgeoirí breise sa Ghaeltacht á chruthú in aghaidh na bliana is míorúilt a bheadh ann" a dúirt an Dr Brian Ó Curnáin le @mairinnighadhra ar 7LÁ
@DustinThomsonGB @shoradin@grahamscheper Those are different skills. Our brains naturally soak up language as children, through our ears. Babies naturally play with phonemes until they figure out the sounds of their language. Children naturally start to speak.
Writing and reading does not come naturally.
@DustinThomsonGB @shoradin@grahamscheper Linguistic prescription and prescriptivism are often used interchangeably, I suppose prescriptivism is more common.
I think your writing has been perfectly adequate despite your tiredness! That's because your brain internalised the core structures so effectively as a child :p
@DustinThomsonGB @shoradin@grahamscheper I was looking for clarification on what exactly is being counted as a grammatical mistake. Without examples it's difficult to discuss. If I were to give a straight answer I'd say of course they make mistakes but not many! Especially not ones that break a language's core structure
@DustinThomsonGB @shoradin@grahamscheper But spelling, that's another matter. Plenty of native speakers mess that up, but that's a separate skill to the internalisation of one's native language
@DustinThomsonGB @shoradin@grahamscheper I think the opposite, that unless you were applying an aggressively prescriptionist standard which didn't account for dialects, or judging the slightest slip of tongue as a genuine mistake, that you'd rarely get native speakers making mistakes that break a language's core rules
