Tá an-tóir ar líne ar #nílsécgl – níl sé ceart go leor – haischlib nua ar Twitter a bhunaigh Ciara Ní É chun aird a tharraingt ar mhíthuiscintí agus ar chlaontachtaí coitianta faoin nGaeilge agus faoi lucht a labhartha.
Mhínigh an file óg agus bunaitheoir REIC níos luaithe inniu an fáth go raibh an haischlib á tosú aici agus an cur chuige a bhain léi.
Dia dhaoibh! Can we do a thing where we repeat things that are often said about Irish speakers, but replace Irish with another language? #nílsécgl

Just feels like the last two weeks has been a barrage of people who know nothing about Gaeilge talking nonsense to people who speak it every day. #nílsécgl

Is léir go bhfuil an haischlib imithe i bhfeidhm go mór ar lucht na teanga ar líne agus iad ag baint an-sult aisti agus á húsáid chomh maith chun a scéalta féin faoin a dtaithí mar Ghaeilgeoirí a roinnt.

I don’t mind when people speak French, but can’t they do it in a normal accent instead of all this fancy french pronunciation? #nílsécgl

Hey, I don’t hate the English Language, but it just seems to come in a package with other things. Like Strictly Come Dancing, the Great British Bake Off, or the Beatles. I just think it needs to be modernised. #nílsécgl

Dúirt Ciara Ní É féin go raibh sí an-sásta leis an tóir a bhí ar #nílsécgl.
But it’s been really uplifting to see so many of you dealing with the ignorance with very well worded responses! #nílsécgl

Bhí an oiread tóir ar #nílséclg ar feadh tamaill inniu go raibh sé i measc na n-ábhar a bhí ag treochtáil ar Twitter in Éirinn.

I think French is a mickey mouse language. They have to make up words like ‘le weekend’ and ‘le hot jazz’. Sure ’tis not a real language at all.

Shure I’d learn Spanish at the drop of a hat but there are too many dialects…….

The English language sounds mushy, largely due to to assimilation, elison and epenthesis
plus its dipthongs and non-rhoticisms.
