This makes me think of the saying, "if you don't know how to spell it, look it up in the dictionary," which has always seemed weird to me in the first place. It seems like it'd be especially difficult to do this in Irish, what with all the vowels that can sound so similar!
This obsession seriously began for me about 10 months ago - and almost the first advice I took on board from who knows where, was: if you can't find it in the dictionary, leave off the first letter, and then maybe the second as well! Never heard such nonsense in my life - but hey it works quite often!
I love the stretching of my pea brain, it is SO different from everything ever learnt before, and love this Forum for the impossible moments!
