Beachdan air sgrìobhadh na Gàidhlig
deasaichCha do chòrd giorrachaidhean anns a' chànain sgrìobhte ri Watson mura robh iad stèidhichte o chionn ùine mhòr:
'Contracted forms of words - the bane of modern written Gaelic - have been freely extended (...) At present there is a tendency to make the written language reproduce all possible contractions of common speech, and the result is unsightly and often obscure. The sound priniciple is to write each word in full, except in the case of recognised contractions of old standing.' [2]
