Well, Scotland seems to be the focus. For hundreds of years, we in North America, which would include Canada, Mexico and U.S., as well as Greenland if you are talking about continents, and various islands, such as Costa Rica, Puerto Rico etc...did I forget anything? have had a fair number of Scots Scottish but do not say Scotch that is for whiskey people in our midst. We also have a cultural history of numerous S/S/S songs, such as Auld Lang Syne, coming through the rye, Loch Lomand, Annie Laurie etc...so these words are part of our heritage somewhat as well..you can't put a wall around a language and say only we'uns can speak it. If other people like a song, like a phrase, etc.,,,they can use it. Hopefully they will treat sacred things especially with respect. We might end up all talking Franglish, Spanglish, Swedlish or whatever but we can and it is good.
