[1] Welsh is doomed ( or something along those lines) .
My reply is ... so is Latin, but we see plenty of it all around us .... and anyway, in a meaningless universe, everything is doomed, including you and me.
[2] When are you ever going to use it ?
... and I reply " I was using it a moment ago actually."
[3] Go on ... say something in Welsh then ...
and I reply ... "Dych chi dyn tew, twp a trwsgl !"*
[4] I expect you can hardly get any books to read in Welsh "
and I reply ... " Yn wir !"
Actually, you can get all sorts of books in Welsh .. there's a Mills and Boon up there for a start, there's Sherlock Holmes, there's all that Jacqueline Wilson stuff for children and people who, as far a Welsh is concerned, are de facto children ( that's us) ( hey-up ... lladin !) , murder mysteries, silly stuff, books based around trôns, books based around people with no trôns,
