Dear Sir...I have to take issue with you.
Being of Scottish ancestry with a family crest and tartans...two of them btw,
I have to protest at your use of the term 'Scotch'.
This term is used for Whiskey and a wooden wedge, neither of which you would be.
"Contrary to what Webster 1913 says, the Scots (being the people of Scotland), do not like being referred to as scotch. They prefer the appellation Scots.[/B]"
I also refer you to:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_people
Being able to trace my own family back to 785 CE with the help of 'Burke's Peerage, Baronetage & Knightage', I wish to make it clear that being a 'Scot' or being 'Scottish' is correct, but
being 'Scotch' is inaccurate.
A small thing, I know.
I do hope you take this information in the manner I offer it Sir.
Yours respectfully,
dk.
BTW.
I will now try to repair my own 300e head lamp wiper/s ...or is that, 'head light' wipers ! Oh gord, here we go again.
Head lite, head lamp or head light.
Main beam, Hi beam or brights...or is that 'brites'?
