> 19yo gay furry does irreparable damage to a dying language by autistically editing thousands of articles and becoming main admin of the Scots wikipedia Even more ridiculous someone on the 4chan thread mentioned that there was another autist who tried to show him how "true scots" looked like by translating articles to some medieval version of the language only a dozen people with linguistic degrees can understand.
