Subject: RE: Retire 'Auld Lang Syne' - use what song instead?
I can accept that non-Scots may mispronounce it - - but it is unforgivable when natives say Zyne, particularly when they are on a concert platform/leading the singing through a microphone or worse, on tv!!!
I find that unacceptable and embarrassing.
Pedantic I may be but I just cannot understand why they don't make a tiny bit of effort to understand what they are actually singing about?!
