American Teen Writes Scots Wikipedia

It turns out an American teen who identifies as an "INTP brony" has singlehandedly written almost the entirety of Scots wikipedia despite not knowing the language at all. Scottish redditors suspect he may have done "more damage to the Scots language than anyone else in history." Almost every article on Scots Wikipedia is written by one American teenager, who does not speak Scots and is just writing English in an "accent". If you have a multilingual language model, this fakery might be your entire training data for Scots Democracy Frae Wikipedia, the free beuk o knowledge Democracie (or democracy) is a poelitical form o government in which governin power is derived frae the fowk, aither bi direct referendum (direct democracie) or bi means o electit representatives o the fowk (representative democracie).

На изображении показан твит о том, что американский подросток, не знающий шотландского языка, якобы написал почти всю Scots Wikipedia, изображая английский с «акцентом». Ниже приведён пример статьи «Democracy» с нарочито искажённым шотландским текстом. Шутка высмеивает скандал вокруг крайне плохого качества Scots Wikipedia и абсурдность машинного или самодельного подражания языку. EN: The image shows a tweet claiming that an American teenager who does not know Scots supposedly wrote almost all of Scots Wikipedia by pretending to write English with an “accent.” Below it is an example of the “Democracy” article written in deliberately distorted Scots. The joke mocks the infamous poor quality of Scots Wikipedia and the absurdity of imitating a language without knowing it.
