Etting-gay ialectical-day

Whoohoo.co.uk (link courtesy of Marlush) is a site containing a number of "dialect translators," which convert your writing into something approximating Scottish, Irish, Scouse, and other English accents and dialects of the British Isles.

For example, the preceding paragraph, in Scottish, becomes:

Whoohoo.co.uk is a site containin' a number ay "dialect translators," which convert yer writin' intae somethin' approximatin' scottish, irish, scoose, an' other sassenach accents an' dialects ay eh British Isles.

Not bad. But not as much fun as the original jive translator or Swedish Chef-erizer.

P.S. Today, I received my first search engine link since I started tracking them. Someone looked for TOLKIEN+FASCISM at Google, and I came up number 12 in the results.
