Stony Uplands

Weren't they the cause of the great stone fences? They would get piled up because the farmers would pick up the rocks and pile them out of the way and have a perpetually growing wall? BoArthur 23:17, 2 December 2005 (PST)

Official Languages

I wouldn't put Brithenig in the "official" slot. I think Gaelic would be confined mostly to the Boston area. Note that Mass. itself is a sea of long standing Englishry. The Irish came in the XIX century to Boston. I doubt Gaelic would be an official language. Elemtilas 10:17, 5 January 2006 (PST)
