Do you think your handful of phrases counts as "speaking" the language? Most of the Irish people I know would know a bit of Irish but most could not have a discussion about anything significant in it.

Language skills fade if you do not use them.

I've been talking about the standard that the map applies to the dark bluegreen area, specifying it multiple times.

And my point is many Irish people know a handful of phrases and cannot hold conversations

Who are you arguing with? I never disputed that.
