    Thanks for sharing that Nathan!

    Just curious; is Gaelic Awareness Month just a Canadian celebration or is it also celebrated in the UK and other parts of the (Scottish/Gaelic) World?

    It may be celebrated in Scotland, but I am not aware of it.

    It's a Nova Scotia (New Scotland) thing. It's cheaper than offering education and government services in the language...

    I should have gone to Specsavers - I read it twice and thought that a month was a long time to be aware of garlic!

    *sigh* Methinks ye sons of Scotland should have a keener eye to recognize the name of this noble tongue. No wonder it needs a month for special recognition.
