"Don't get this Scottish obsession with how "different" they are. Every region has its own slang and variations on pronunciation. It's a sad state of affairs when the inability to speak properly is seen as "culture" and something to be proud of. I'm not Scottish, in case you haven't guessed...
Then you don't realise that they are often the remnants of languages that used to be spoken in those areas. The words and dialects are as valid as RPQE and shouldn't be denigrated. My favourite word is 'dreich'. It sums up its meaning SO well.
Rant over." | |||

Rant over."But what is "properly"? You have just said that every region has it's own variations, but to write it off as slang is wrong! In many cases, it's the way people have spoken for centuries and it is indeed part of an area's culture! And it's certainly not a "sad state of affairs"!!! | |||

"Cant see what is wrong in enjoying diversity and I am suspicious when someone sets themselves up as the arbiter of what is 'properly'. Relax and enjoy the subtle variations in meaning. Fud" . haha always liked the word "fud"... there's a car number plate wi that on it locally, always makes me giggle ..lmao How about... Spicket = tap! | |||

Rant over."Yes, your right each region and area indeed have there own native tounge. Scotland has doric,gaelic and local word's that have been used and said for centuries. Many of my relative's do not speak 'properly' and if you asked them to they would continue to speak the way they are as to them that is 'proper' If you were to speak 'proper' to some that would'nt have a scooby doo to what you are on about. I'am sure in your local area there will be afew word's/terms people use and other's would'nt know. | |||

" Big apologies to anyone local to the aberdeen area - i just cant understand you at all.. "I think you'll find it's not so much Aberdeen itself, but the area north of Aberdeen, Buchan, it really does have a language all of it's own!! | |||
