Your original thread is here:  MacDonalds

You certainly didn't get flamed, though "Calico" presumably has only come across "standard" English; what you should bear in mind is that not everybody here has English (which, like it or not, is the "common language" of the internet) as their first language, let alone Scots!  When posting in a language that may be difficult, people should always give a translation -or at least notes- unless they wish deliberately to exclude others.  It's generally better to revive a thread rather than make a new one to re-post the same information, by the way.  If you can't remember the title you gave your original thread, re-set the filter on the main Forum page to (say) 14 days, which will bring up everything from that period.  That's how I found it.
