Greetings from Dublin

[Karl Henning]

A Yankeuse? 

[Seán]

You're welcome. But I must correct you kind sir, for I am a female Yankee. 

Oh dear, how careless and thoughtless of me.        "There are far worse things awaiting man than death."  Now I know why!

So Seán, can you explain to an ignorant frenchman from where does the accent on your name comes from.  I am curious to find the root of this Gaelicness !!
I am also curious to know how you like the various Gaelic music there is...

Hi Spineur, an ignorant Frenchman you say, well there's a first.  I never knew there was such a thing    The accent is called a fada and changes the 'ah' sound to 'aw'.  Seán is the Irish for John, whilst Sean is the Irish for old.  So, of course, I'm called Seán.
