    Well done boys!

    May I congratulate SF for badly mispelling the Irish word for Revolution(Réabhlóid) on your college recruitment posters.
    But sure who care's? It's only Irish.

    Do you not see the irony in starting a thread to criticise bad spelling and then spell cares incorrectly?

    No, this is an internet forum and I'm talking about an officially sanctioned professionally made glossy poster. I couldn't give a toss on the internet about spelling in any language. But if I was doing a professional poster I'd at least make the effort to have it properly spell checked like the English one.

    And stop trying to change the subject.

    In fairness Fianna Fáil mis-translated their "A lot done, a lot more to do" slogan for their Gaeltacht posters last time out. Instead it read "Enough done, enough still to do".

    Yeah I know. But I've never been under the illusion that FF gave a ************************ about Irish and hell'd freeze over before I vote for them. Just another electioneering tool to them.
    I'm just dissapointed to see the same careless sloppiness from SF.

    Yeah, I was well p*ssed off at that mis-spelling on the posters. Was waiting for someone to point it out. Although mistakes happen, we just have to get on with it. If the mistake had been made in english it wouldn't have been half as bad.
    To be a student and not a revolutionary is a contradiction.

    I'm sure if you raise this with Mickey Bravender, he'd make sure to sort it out. I agree with you it's not a good sign.
