TGcoa - You are doing harm to the Irish language. Here's why.
Líne 279:
 
I find the Coiste Téarmaíochta a [[Úsáideoir:Ériugena|Ériugena]] not fit for purpose, not in the context of coining terms to help describe the wider world. Then, like inaccuracies you've mentioned above, it doesn't clarify them. Also irritating is the (apparently) arbitrary nomenclature of various areas such as historical figures or events. Why [[Dióicléitiánas]] and not Diocletian, like every other language? How did they arrive at that name? Or [[An Bliotsa]] instead of [[An Blitz]]? Why is Irish the only language to change a word from English that was adopted from German? There were lots of Irish people in London during the Blitz and most likely native Irish speakers among them. Did any of them refer to that event as an Bliotsa? Deacair a shamhlú. Chaco 22:31, 27 Iúil 2020 (UTC)
 
 
== To all Gaeilgeoir grammar pedants ==
 
* TGcoa - I don't appreciate your sarcastic remarks to articles I create. I am part of the Irish Diaspora, unlike you I have never had the privilege of access to an education in the Irish language, but I love my ancestral language and I want to do what I can to help promote it. I am self-taught. I have never claimed to be an expert. All I wish is to help Gaeilge interact with the wider world and modern culture, rather than have this project be solely focused on Irish nationalists from the 19th century, as you seem to wish. Your aim seems to be to sabotage Irish language enthusiasts and present Irish as a closed language for small-minded pedants whose sneer and mock anyone who does not consistently achieve the highest levels of language purity. You think there is no intermediate stage between no knowledge of the language, and total mastery.
Here's what you could do to encourage those without your privilege:
* Correct grammar without disparagingly drawing attention to the creator of the article.
* Encourage rather than discourage people who share your passion for the language.
* Share your concerns and frustrations in a private rather than public forum.
