“Well my last comment was deleted as well. That’s fine, it’s your blog, your decision. Just to let you know I’ve cancelled my monthly contribution to WoS.’

I haven’t deleted anything. For some reason your comments are going into moderation and I’ve barely been in today to manually approve stuff. (Dentist then car breakdown.)

The sooner the “Let Everyone Speak Party” gets up and running the better.

Because, and I’ll be honest with you here, Ruby. I’m beginning to feel like a second class citizen on WoS.

P tags should be a fundamental right for everyone, and it should be a policy high on the list of the party’s policy priorities.

There, I’ve said it out loud, do with it what you will.

And please, don’t do a ‘Nicola’ on me and deny me the right to join the party just because I’ve spoken truth to power about something I feel very strongly about. 🙂

Sorry, Ruby. Seems I’ve opened a can of worms with my unclosed p tag error. I am, however, finding the whole business strangely amusing 🙂

Now you know about the p tag.

You can write your p tag until cows come home but nothing will happen.

You do not have p tag privileges. 🙂

It’s another denial of freedom of language.

‘The Let Everyone Speak Party’ might have to look into this.

Translation required please Alf.

“Only problem is Scots isnae ma mither tongue.”

Mebbe no yours but hits mine an 1.6 million ither Scots speakers, an oor langage is whit tells us wha we are an gaes us oor identity – baith Scots an Gaels.

Thons nae ony prablem tho, Ruby – Scotlan haes twa braw indigenous langages – Gaelic an Scots. Baith shuid bi respectit as oor naitional langages, but anely ane haes an Act o Pairlament an siller an mair gaed tae hit an the ither disnae. Thons discreemination.

Meantime aw Scots are aye telt that ‘English’ is oor naitional langage, whit it isnae. Hence oor ‘colonial bilingualism’ with languages ‘in conflict’, and Scots language especially made ‘invalid’ and inferior, as are those who speak it. Which explains why all peoples in self-determination conflict are ‘linguistically divided’.

@Ruby

as far as your unclosed P tag goes, > to the future ?

I didn’t do it!

When I said the p tag doesn’t work on Wings I meant posters couldn’t write the p tag in the same way as you can write the b tag. Get it?

I could be totally wrong about that.

Obviously the p tag works otherwise there would be a lot of deaths by hammer.

The p tag is automatically written for you when you press the return key. It’s wysiwyg or something

wysiwyg pronounced wissywig.

The following is a p tag test
