I still find it funny how new are the idea of a fully standardized spelling and the modern concept of literacy that includes following that standard.

It would take me quite some time to recognize "fácab" as a spelling variant of "fo-gaib".
One would get some unkind words for 'Fáidheann (sic) Pádraig a dhaltaí ann" today.
