Scottish people speak gibberish?



Even if I could speak Scots, it would be too difficult to type it.

I can do a pretty mean Irish accent. But if you type it, it loses everything.

You know that reads a lot like a Newfoundlander accent, I wonder if they're related.

Trashleg, do you happen to speak Gaelic too, or is that not as widely spoken as I've been lead to believe, or what?
