Subject: RE: BS: Scotch People running the country
Loved the reminder that Flanders and Swann did their own version of "Political Science" slightly ahead of Randy Newman, who put a practical American can-do slant on things (Let's Bomb 'em ALL!).

Anyhow, saying a Scots girl or a Scots man sounds only a little more awkward than leaving 'the' off of Ukraine these days. Not impossible. But it sounds like pluralizing the singular. And only slightly more of a reach for starting a fight in pubs than critiquing the return of red M & Ms.
