Well, Mr. Smarty Pants, I was trying to make it look at least a little Irish. Maybe you would prefer Bhfár an Píos.

Anyway, here's another:

Caol le caol agus leathan le leathan ...


For the pronunciation of "war", at first I thought about adding a síneadh fada or doubling the r, i.e., bhár/mhár or bharr/mharr, but those are actually /wɑ:r/. The pronunciation of "war" is /wo:r/, so mhór would be pretty close.


I'm not trying to be a smarty pants. The point of a game like this is to try to learn how to spell sounds the way the Irish think about them in Irish Gaelic.

Another advantage of a game like this in any language is that it can help pinpoint where learners are making consistent mistakes in their pronunciation.

However, if we are to achieve that, some revision is necessary. If we let the mistakes go by then there is no learning just reinforcement of the same mistakes.

I was contemplating a separate thread to discuss those mistakes so as not to disrupt the flow of the game itself. I understand that some people just want to play, but I also believe other people would like to learn something more. With a separate thread, I think people could choose either, or, or both.

Right you are!

Brendán, I was only slagging you with the "Mr. Smarty Pants" bit. The emoticon doesn't get used nearly often enough. Having a separate thread where more precise phonetics are discussed might be useful. It would provide good information without disrupting the flow of this game. I myself would be interested in reading that thread, although I probably wouldn't be able to contribute.

"Oor n' peace" was as close as I could get, off the top of my head, and I only meant it to suggest the sound of the English title. It's only a clue. But while this is a game, it has an educational purpose, and I don't want to mislead anyone. I've added a disclaimer to the first post in this thread to clarify what we're trying to do. If you do create separate thread, please feel free to edit that first post to add the link.
