No-one's claiming that the objectors are logical or consistent. (-:

Mind you, they do all seem related to that group who weren't giving their addresses on the ballot papers last Thursday. Perhaps they're all secretly living in 2nd homes and have just realized that they have to submit change of address cards to lots of returning officers.

@wood5y @MickG59

They might have a case.

Although the simple defence might in turn be that the Authority has the power under that Act to specify names in both English and Welsh, and it has chosen "Bannau Brycheiniog National Park" and "Parc Cenedlaethol Bannau Brycheiniog" respectively.

If anyone challenges the idea of the former being English, all of the placenames in England that are in languages no-one even speaks any more will be a fun point.

It is quite strange. Can you think of a plausible way that this could have happened? The claim is that this is a "technical error", but that doesn't wash.

It doesn't seem like something that some spell-check system would do, or that would be the result of some character set mixup/transmission error.

The only plausible explanation that I can come up with is that the person who wrote the message genuinely didn't know how to spell the word.

Reportedly, the #WelshLanguage text was actually wrong.

The UK newspaper the Guardian has a nice story today about a Welshman in Ohio. The main thrust of the story and indeed its headline focuses on him learning the Welsh language at age 71. But it also covers him impulsively deciding to learn the button #accordion at age 65. And the main picture for the newspaper article shows him proudly wearing his box! https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2023/apr/17/a-new-start-after-60-i-dont-like-being-defeated-so-at-71-i-learned-welsh #Accordions #Squeezebox #Music #WelshLanguage #LifelongLearning #CBA #ChromaticButtonAccordion

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 #Welsh learners! Thanks to @griffinkate I learned of Siarad, a scheme that brings Welsh speakers and learners together for 10 hours of informal conversations in social settings.

The aim is to increase learners confidence and introduce them to opportunities to use their Welsh locally.

Never thought about this but of course It’s true: #Welsh is a very gendered language. The fact that it’s also a threatened minority language makes it harder to make changes to include #nonbinary people or others who would prefer less gendered speech. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-64164011 #Cymraeg #WelshLanguage #Cymru #Wales #languages #gender

First stream of 2023 tonight (Tuesday) from 10pm-ish! Will Duolingo be insultingly easy again?! I'm on Level 6 and it's asking me how to say the name of my own country 🤣

So yes, tonight, broadcasting live from that well-known UK country, School Uniform! (that's what "gwisg ysgol" means!)
