Sir, - Every language has its nuances - ways of expressing a mood, a concept, a characteristic, or even a simple noun - that other languages find cumbersome. Irish is not alone in this regard. That is not to devalue the beauty of our native tongue, but we should not think it uniquely superior. It’s just different. – Yours, etc,
