Da Kappa Goddess (she/her) | Been doun for a bit 😭 | 00:36:24 |
Campbell | I sometimes use an app for schools, Scots Abc. Obviously not a patch on the pants of the DSL but still will do in a pinch. | 00:47:27 |
insising | Gaming | 01:10:38 |
Will Ðe Draigon | It's by the same group | 01:18:16 |
Will Ðe Draigon | Interestingly the data doesn't seem to be the same, I was under the impression it was basically a trimmed down DSL but I'm pretty sure it's got a few commonish modern words that are missing from the former | 01:19:32 |
Campbell | Thanks. This discussion just made me realize that my paper copy of the Concise Scots Dictionary is a First Edition, which explains something | 01:49:23 |
| bashbombastic joined the room. | 03:22:55 |
Will Ðe Draigon | The first edition is the white and green one right | 03:23:51 |
Will Ðe Draigon | Or something like that as far as the cover goes, from memory | 03:24:08 |
Will Ðe Draigon | I have the second edition. I love how people go "what in the world how is that concise" when they see this massive purple book haha | 03:24:52 |
_me0wster | mornin | 05:56:39 |
Campbell | Yes, mine looks as below | 19:15:49 |
Campbell | Download IMG_7578.jpg | 19:15:54 |
Da Kappa Goddess (she/her) | Whit's the differ atween this n the dsl? | 19:16:46 |
Campbell | DSL is much more comprehensive | 19:33:50 |
Campbell | More words, lots of quotations | 19:34:03 |
Campbell | My first edition doesn’t even have certain spellings that are in the Scots Abc, which I believe would be found in the second edition, which again is nowhere near as chock-a-block as the DSL. | 19:35:29 |
Campbell | Still, sometimes it’s nice to have brick and mortar books | 19:35:56 |
Cobra_3000 [sco/en_SCO]{it}(gd) | Aye | 20:05:04 |
_me0wster | the DSL is unabridged SND + DOST. You need a whole shelf to have just one of these multivolume works | 20:05:24 |
Campbell | There is also a project to create a similar dictionary for Scottish Gaelic but I don’t really know how far along they are yet | 20:22:46 |
Campbell | http://www.faclair.ac.uk/ | 20:25:03 |
Campbell | Heh, second edition of the Concise does indeed have the definition of “puggie” that is missing from mine: https://dsl.ac.uk/our-publications/concise-scots-dictionary/ | 21:16:09 |
Campbell | And yeah, the DSL itself makes up about 22 volumes it says. | 21:20:31 |
Will Ðe Draigon | Yeah the second edition has a lot of alternate spellings and things | 22:12:44 |
Will Ðe Draigon | Also has yogh which is like super cool | 22:12:53 |
Will Ðe Draigon | Even if it is entirely just ȝe - see ye | 22:13:05 |
Will Ðe Draigon | But like hey it's still really neat | 22:13:14 |
Will Ðe Draigon | * Yeah the second edition has a lot of alternate spellings and things. But still is missing some common colloquial words I've seen used around!! | 22:13:41 |
Campbell | Not sure of an easy way to obtain in the US | 23:16:06 |
