I’ve got two hours to kill before a meeting at school and would like to hit the local bookstore to pick up an irish-english dictionary. Assuming they have one, and even more boldly assuming they have MORE than one, is there any particular publication of dictionary that stands out for accuracy and usefulness?

ava, and you are VERY close to loren…
Oh, we’re not that close. 
Careful now, you’ll frighten poor Tinker.
heheheheheh..
I have the Oxford Irish Minidictionary. It’s nice and small but still seems to have every word you could possibly need. There’s also a nice grammar section in the middle. Good luck!

Conversely, if thou stirrest flour and sausage grease, thou mayest add water, and make unto thyself gravy.
… uh…sorry…I’ll try and make my next post more on-topic.
sigh no, feel free to leave the thread off topic primarily. I’ve already been to the bookstore and back, lol. The thread wasn’t terribly on topic to begin with.

Keeping this totally OT- Walden, I think that you may have missed your true calling- you would have been a great member of Monty Python- your quote sounds like it came directly out of Monty Python and the Holy Grail! You are the King of Comedy!!
All the Best, Tom
