"Aye an' a bit of Mackeral settler rack and ruin
Ran it doon by the haim, 'ma place.
Well I slapped me and I slapped it doon in the side and
I cried, cried, cried."
[...]
"Aye! A roar he cried frae the bottom of his heart
That I would nay fall but as dead, dead as 'a can be by his feet;
De ya ken?...
And the wind cried back."

It's safe to say, I guess: okay.

There's a thread by yy about additions to Acme.
It contains code, which could be made better
given the appropriate feedback and time.
It's also useful and not ridiculous.

Eris discordantly quoted, from a Pink Floyd song
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Several_species), "an account of the
famous defeat of Mary Queen of Scots at the battle of Langside that
took place in the 16th Century." Here's a translation and analysis of
the full text, written in a Scottish dialect on the other side of the
great vowel shift from Chaucer's middle English.
