Subject: RE: BS: Is Scots a Language or a Dialect?
Aw, Mick, yer a Big man after all ... I assumed that there had been a bit of "misreading"; no harm done.

Most of my father's people were Gaelic-speaking Presbyterians in Cape Breton; some of the distant relatives are still alive and still speaking "the language of the Garden". So I felt I had to give them their due.

Cheers,
