Noma kunjalo, iqiniso lokuthi babejwayele ukulalela umsakazo ndawonye, kuhlangene nothando lwabo olufanayo lwesiko lase-Ireland, yikho okwaphoqa uKavanagh ukuthi aphishekele iziqu ze-Irish and Journalism e-Dublin City University, lapho ayebambe khona uhlelo lwase-Ireland, kwakuyi-Irish. umhleli wephephandaba labafundi, futhi waqala ukwenza amavidiyo we-YouTube. Useqalile ukusakaza bukhoma Twitch ngaphansi kwe-moniker 'Yunitex' - ngemva kokubona ukuntuleka kokuqukethwe kwe-Irish endaweni yesikhulumi, wanquma ukuzenzela yena. Manje unokusakaza okuzinikele kwe-Irish njalo ngeSonto lapho edlala khona ama-RPG, axoxe, futhi anikeze izifundo ze-Duolingo ngesi-Irish.

Kuwufanele umzamo, nokho, uma kubhekwa ukuthi kubaluleke kangakanani ukwengeza isi-Irish njengolimi olusebenzayo ongadlala ngalo imidlalo. Yize ezinye izihloko ezinkulu zifaka njengenketho - okungukuthi, I-PUBG futhi Minecraft - futhi abathuthukisi abafana noTerry Cavanagh (Imigodi kaDicey, i-VVVVVV, i-Super Hexagon) benza imizamo yokuyisekela, isi-Irish sishoda kakhulu eningini lama-blockbuster amakhulu.

Ngiyisebenzisela umsebenzi wami, nabangane bami, kanye ne-inthanethi. Angicabangi ukuthi bayakuqonda ukuthi kuwukungahloniphi ukuya komunye umuntu bese umtshele kaningi ukuthi ulimi lwakhe alunamsebenzi noma lufile.”
Yilokhu okwenza u-Kavanagh nemizamo yeqembu lakhe ethi Phakathi Kwethu ikhetheke kakhulu. Njengoba eshilo ekuqaleni, ukuphela kwendlela yokulungisa isimo esinjengalesi ukugqugquzela ushintsho.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, ngangazi phakathi kwethu ngaphakathi, okwasiza lonke iqembu ukuthi liqonde ukuthi izenzo zazisho ukuthini. Amanye amalungu ayadlala imidlalo kodwa angeke ajwayele, futhi amanye awo angaba nezinga eliphezulu lesi-Irish kunami, ngakho ngamakhono ethu ahlangene sikwazile ukusebenza ndawonye ngempumelelo.

Njengamanye amalungu eqembu, sabona ukuthi singakhononda ngokuntuleka kwemidlalo etholakala ngesi-Irish noma singavele sizenzele thina. Okubalulekile lapha wukuthi besingafuni ukuvele sikwenze, besifuna ukukwenza kahle. Ngethemba ukuthi kuzokhuthaza abanye ukuthi babone ukuthi kungaphezu nje komdlalo ngesi-Irish.”
