    I love the Welsh, but holy shit that’s not what those letters are supposed to be for. They and the Irish just made a bunch of shit up when they started to standardize spelling. It makes me understand how Russians feel when Westerners use Cyrillic letters improperly.

      the letters are “supposed to be” for Latin, a language with only five different vowel sounds.

      everyone since has just been making a bunch of shit up.
