I'm sorry, but I haven't really got a spare half an hour trying to decipher your posts.

Just a suggestion, but they might carry more weight if you used the English language, or failing that - Urdu? :)

@icepick....dis is joost fur de......

this is shetland is it not? we speak shetland do we not?(some of us anyway) and is this not a shetland forum? we are not in the heartland of England in case one is not aware of that. and i dont want to stray to much of topic, our mods will not allow it, One prefers to type in ones language as we reside in shetland!! It is high time that more of US shetlanders wrote/typed in our language.

This matter is better discussed in a specific post for said subject matter.

My points are not irrelevant just because they are typed in shetland..or are they? just because you cannot be bothered to read. should i not read yours as they are in english?

 

@groilick, tanks ta de, hit amazis me foo fok here de-value wir shaetlan joost cis dae cana b buddered ta tak da time ta reed hit an hit amazis me dat wi irna alloed ta wryt in shaetlan ir encureegd ta wryt in it aedir, hit cana b muckle wirt, i doot.

Icepick should do as I (and an awful lot of others) do.

 

I just don't read the cr*p posted in 'da dialect'.

 

Posters should realise that, this may be a Shetland forum but, it's read by an awful lot of others as well.

 

Posting in your 'native' tongue and expecting everyone else to pat you on the back for it is just ignorance.

"Groilick" and "Viking74"

What Colin says carries a lot of weight I think.

I am a Shetlander through and through and it annoys me when the "dialect" in its written form, appears as corrupted, mis-spelt and inaccurate...

If you look back, even I use it, but sparingly :)

No harm in having a bit of fun then, but as Colin says, Shetlink is for everybody to participate in...

Thank You and Goodnight :lol:

Hello again, just a suggestion...

If you are able, you should try and get out more.

Why not come to Lerwick and ''hae a dae oot" and expand your horizons :lol:

Count me out too.

 

I don't usually even read as far as that sentence i've quoted.

 

If you can't make the effort to make yourself easily understood, I can't see why I should make the effort to understand you.

OK Njugle - Done :)

Just to sign-off though - a plea from the heart:

Please Viking74 and Groilick, if you do manage to have a day in the "Toon", avoid going on Radio... :lol:

I've been on Shetland more than 30 years so, I understand what is being written in the local dialect.. I just don't bother reading it.

I wonder just how many valid and interesting points have been missed because of this. You can be a 'Shetlander' if you wish, you can even be a proud(?) Shetlander , you might even aspire to being a redneck as well for all I care but, please, remember that these newsgroups are read by lots of people from outside Shetland.

 

As I said earlier, deliberately excluding any number of people from your opinions, be they valid or otherwise, is just plain ignorance.

 

What would you say if I started posting in Welsh? Would you even try and read it? After all, a damned site more people speak Welsh than Shetland.

Ummm.... missing the point much? Posting in Welsh on a Shetland forum would be a patently ridiculous thing to do.

 

But would you have a similar issue if people posted in Welsh on a forum specifically for Wales?

 

Or would you be more likely to side with the Welsh-speakers that were being told that they should post in English to make themselves understood?
