How do you know you weren't literally given metaphorical wings?
Which Gaelic? Irish or Scottish? Or perhaps Welsh?

I wanted to take Gaelic in college but they didn't offer it. I picked up on German better than the other two but I was more interested and more invested in making good grades. I dislike Spanish but French is really interesting if only because they don't pronounce half of the letters.Which Gaelic? Irish or Scottish? Or perhaps Welsh?

Most Irish just assume all Gaelic is Irish.
Although I am impressed that as an Irishman you would even ask. Most Irish just assume you mean Irish Gaelic.
Citation? I very much doubt that to be the case.
You'd be correct. We do not assume all Gaelic is Irish. Our own education system makes sure of that.

If you can't demonstrate it, then you shouldn't believe it.

I should stop being a lazy shit and learn it some day.It's only a matter of time before they invade, anyway. You might as well accept your new Soviet masters by learning their angry language.Poland is in NATO.

Well.. They probably won't be happy about a Russian invasion. No one cares about Crimea.
I highly doubt NATO would do nothing if one of their members was invaded by Russia.
