I have just had a phone conversation with a Scottish person, and by god it was hard work. For me Scottishness is encapsulated in the simple phrase "the noo" which in real English boils down to "now". So why say the now when you mean now? I like Scotties, don't get me wrong, but oh gawd I wish they would speak proplerly and spel their words right.

Tell me about it whiffster.

I think it is the incessant rain which affects their vocal training or something.

But I am now scotch myself, so won't be long 'til I start speaking like one I guess.
