To: Multiple recipients of list WELSH-L In-Reply-To: <9407142328.AA22217@bach.seattleu.edu> Thank you, Geraint, for mentioning a pet peeve of mine: my fellow Americans who consider Wales a suburb of Hobbitland and others of that ilk. Here's a repulsive thought - if Welsh was dying out to the point of extinction and the only "speakers" were members of the Society for Creative Anachronism who had considered the language an adjunct of their fantasy roles, would it be worth preservation at such a cost? But not to end on a sour note.. - Thank you, Welsh-l, for helping refresh what little Welsh I remember from evening classes of 20+ years ago. Rdwy i yn darllen ychydig, ond dydw i ddim yn siarad da iawn. Diolch i bob. Stan
