Due to the limitations of some mail servers, not everybody is capable of receiving properly accented characters, even if you are capable of producing them. Grave accents are not normally seen in Irish Gaelic, but are common in Scots Gaelic. It is acceptable to send properly accented characters to the list, but if you do so, it is a courtesy to also include a version with slashes. This is a learners' list, and many people feel strongly that an English translation of all Irish should be provided, or at least a vocabulary list. Postings entirely in Irish will often elicit complaints.
Attachments are also to be avoided, for a variety of reasons.
Although you may not want to send properly accented characters to this list, you will often want to produce them for other purposes. Classes One of the best ways of learning Gaelic is from a teacher, either in a class or in a tutorial. Many people find books with Irish on one page and an English translation on the facing page to be useful. In addition to these books, there are any number of dual-language poetry anthologies available, and several books originally written in Irish for which English translations exist.
