Very strange to see it signed off with Sláinte. I never thought it used much outside of Scotland

- nibnib 10y agoIt's very common in Ireland.
- s_dev 10y agoMovidus is an Irish company not Scottish.
- talideon 10y agoThe dead giveaway that you're looking at Irish and not Scottish Gaelic is the accent direction: Irish uses acute accents exclusively, whereas Scottish Gaelic uses grave accents exclusively in its standard orthography (though older variants, and some holdouts still use both acute and grave accents).
- Olap84 10y agoThanks, good to learn the difference. Graves are a pain on UK keyboards though, I propose they switch!
- talideon 10y agoThere are complicated reasons why that's unlikely to happen, which go back to why some people still use both grave and acute accents Scottish Gaelic (vowel quality, essentially) and why standardising on the grave accent was a more natural choice for SG. It's not a huge deal so long as you use an appropriate keyboard map.
