gra mo chree
Angicization of Gaelic. Ever attestably used? DCDuring TALK 20:58, 2 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Fairly widespread long-term use. I found three songs with it included, The Boys of the Old Brigade, Last Night I had a Happy Dream (which uses gra mo chree as its alternate title), and another song of the same title but with different sports related lyrics. I didn't go through the books or group listings, but there are a few of each.--Dmol 08:02, 4 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Should it have an "Irish English" tag. Is it used widely in UK or Australia/NZ? I'll have to see whether it's in use among Irish-Americans. DCDuring TALK 14:18, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I've added an Ireland tag. I've heard it in Australia, but only among Irish friends and family.--Dmol 06:21, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll try to confirm usage here. I hope someone can just declare it in widespread use in Irish communities. I should have just brought this to the Tea Room. DCDuring TALK 14:25, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I find more gra ma chree than this spelling. Is that a gender difference? DCDuring TALK 14:29, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Hmmm. It would seem that this is used in transcription of a Gaelic lyric and is rarely used in normal English writing. We don't keep transcriptions, do we? The lyric might be a good usage example for one or more of the constituents in Gaelic. DCDuring TALK 14:42, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

I added some citations, but I agree that it probably belongs in English in the Citations namespace and in Irish (with perhaps a note about its usual Anglicisation) at grá mo chroí. — Beobach 21:12, 22 November 2010 (UTC)


 * I've moved the entry to the Citations namespace and left a note at grá mo chroí. — Beobach 23:13, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
