doseybat is trying to persuade me to go with her to a ceilidh in Camden this Thursday. Anyone else up for talking me into it coming?

You've been wishing for ages for a ceilidh not on Friday night, and how you have one, so you should seize the opportunity! It's true you might get back late and tire yourself out with dancing, but when it's an occasional chance to do something you know you enjoy, it's worth it.

B..but, it's only four years since the last one I went to! It's too soon! ;^b

Well, in the end, I did have a good time. But now, I'm beat, like an egg. Or possibly like Jack Kerouac.

Bounce and twirl and whirl and spin and zoom!

You have too much energy! ;^b

Okay, I'm going. :o)

I would TOTALLY go. I love ceilidhim! Go go go. :)

You know, I had to read this twice before I realised the mixed-language plural you sneaked in there. :o)

Heheheheh. I didn't know how to do it properly, see.

A quick google suggests céilithe in Irish, which possibly means extra unpronounced letters in Scots Gaelic. (The Irish reformed their orthography a while ago to remove unpronounced letters, which is why the singular is céilí in Irish, but céilidh in Scots Gaelic.)

(rysmiel, are you reading this?)

Of course, that doesn't mean anyone else English knows; I'm sure most people just say "ceilidhs".

In English, the plural sounds exactly the same as the singular.

Have fun :)
