I can vouch for Strupag's Scots credentials, and I'm sure that when he started this thread, it was intended to provoke a sensible discussion. This by and large has been the case, apart from a few flippant contributions. The mixture of erudition and pedantry that has also emerged is thought provoking to say the least. I would point out that the use of the term "Anglo-Saxon" to refer to rude, or obscene language, is widespread, and is not a capital offence.
I am Glasgow born, of a Belfast Father, and a Scots Mother, should I be confused?
