The misspelling of Jones Beach as “Jonse” on a new sign on Long Island's Robert Moses Parkway is making the rounds on social media.

Jeena Belil, of Brookhaven, who saw the misspelled sign on Facebook, told Newsday she was shocked somebody didn't proofread the sign. …

The name is so large it had to take a break between the “G” and the “W” ;-)

Cymraeg to my ears is a beautiful language spoken by some in my family and ancestors all the way back.

Unfortunately your first link is bad (the others work though!).

I love languages - I just wish I was better at picking them up.

Oops, sorry about the non-working link, Rockrr and thanks for letting me know. I'll re-ping everyone I had pinged in my earlier post and this time, I'm including the poster of this thread Olog-Hai, whose name for some reason I had trouble spelling in my first post. :P

Rockrr, I think learning another language can be difficult for most people unless they have heard the language early on, or have had at least some exposure to it.

Here is a link which works:

It's so nice to hear the language spoken by native speakers. The segment with the teachers indicated that students are improving the amount of material taught in Welsh year over year. About 40% of the population speaks Welsh. Most are bilingual (English/Welsh). In the valleys, there are many children who are Welsh monoglots.

The language lives in at least 3 dialects. The northern, southern and mid-valleys. The southern dialect gets the most exposure via the news media. My family came from the mid-valleys, so I've taken an interest in learning that dialect.
