Becoming Addicted to E-I
Irish is only around to a limited extent because a lot of people will get annoyed if they have to stop being lazy and learn anything other than the basics. The amount of people who watch GAA on TG4 but still haven't worked the translations for wide, over the bar etc. is laughable
