@_discord_1019009989005824010:t2bot.ioCampbell 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
@_discord_621845271633985547:t2bot.ioinsising Gaming 01:10:38
@_discord_209246900216528896:t2bot.ioWill Ðe Draigon It's by the same group 01:18:16
@_discord_209246900216528896:t2bot.ioWill 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
@_discord_1019009989005824010:t2bot.ioCampbell 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
@_discord_266988818136039425:t2bot.iobashbombastic joined the room.03:22:55
@_discord_209246900216528896:t2bot.ioWill Ðe Draigon The first edition is the white and green one right 03:23:51
@_discord_209246900216528896:t2bot.ioWill Ðe Draigon Or something like that as far as the cover goes, from memory 03:24:08
@_discord_209246900216528896:t2bot.ioWill 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
@_discord_749411088398811209:t2bot.io_me0wster mornin 05:56:39

@_discord_897641490283626548:t2bot.ioDa Kappa Goddess (she/her) Whit's the differ atween this n the dsl? 19:16:46
@_discord_1019009989005824010:t2bot.ioCampbell DSL is much more comprehensive 19:33:50
@_discord_1019009989005824010:t2bot.ioCampbell More words, lots of quotations 19:34:03
@_discord_1019009989005824010:t2bot.ioCampbell 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
@_discord_1019009989005824010:t2bot.ioCampbell Still, sometimes it’s nice to have brick and mortar books 19:35:56
@_discord_117035690339860482:t2bot.ioCobra_3000 [sco/en_SCO]{it}(gd) Aye 20:05:04
@_discord_749411088398811209:t2bot.io_me0wster the DSL is unabridged SND + DOST. You need a whole shelf to have just one of these multivolume works 20:05:24
@_discord_1019009989005824010:t2bot.ioCampbell 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
@_discord_1019009989005824010:t2bot.ioCampbell http://www.faclair.ac.uk/ 20:25:03
@_discord_1019009989005824010:t2bot.ioCampbell 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
@_discord_1019009989005824010:t2bot.ioCampbell And yeah, the DSL itself makes up about 22 volumes it says. 21:20:31
@_discord_209246900216528896:t2bot.ioWill Ðe Draigon Yeah the second edition has a lot of alternate spellings and things 22:12:44
@_discord_209246900216528896:t2bot.ioWill Ðe Draigon Also has yogh which is like super cool 22:12:53
@_discord_209246900216528896:t2bot.ioWill Ðe Draigon Even if it is entirely just ȝe - see ye 22:13:05
@_discord_209246900216528896:t2bot.ioWill Ðe Draigon But like hey it's still really neat 22:13:14
@_discord_209246900216528896:t2bot.ioWill 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
@_discord_1019009989005824010:t2bot.ioCampbell Not sure of an easy way to obtain in the US 23:16:06
