    This has been driving me mad for the past few days. I always spelled it 'Is aoibheann liom'. But my teacher and all the books spell it 'Is aoibhinn liom'. I pretty much had a 'EVERYTHING I HAVE LEARNT IS A LIE!!!!!' moment. But a quick google showed that other people spell it my way too. So which way do you spell it? Also include what you think is your dialect (Leinster, Connemara, the brlahhh of Donegal etc... :P)

    From the hills of Donegal it's "is aoibhinn liom".

    Aoibheann is a girl's name, aoibhinn is an adjective.
