A quick look shows that IMDB does not distinguish between Irish and Scottish Gaelic at all, merging them under the term "Gaelic".

They'll be able to follow it anyhow, at least if it is about "fishing and bawdy" (O'Brian). -- John Cowan <cowan at ccil.org> http://ccil.org/~cowan Micropayment advocates mistakenly believe that efficient allocation of resources is the purpose of markets. Efficiency is a byproduct of market systems, not their goal. The reasons markets work are not because users have embraced efficiency but because markets are the best place to allow users to maximize their preferences, and very often their preferences are not for conservation of cheap resources. --Clay Shirkey _______________________________________________ Ltru mailing list Ltru at ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ltru
