Subject: RE: Lea Rig:Robert Burns From: Valery Malin vmalin@ix.netcom.com Date: 20 Feb 97 - 09:56 PM Hi Ian! Thanks for your message. What I meant to say was Scots dialect! The error is typical of what happens when I try to write something after just getting home from work! Thanks also for your info about the Ayrshire dialect used. I am so impressed with the quality of information and the knowledge of the people accessing this site! Thanks again for replying. Val |
