Scots English is truly a delight and... I was gonna say “trolling your granny + others by saying ‘scotch’” but even I know this is indefensible

deems always says Scotch because he thinks it annoys Scottish people.

Cecil Taylor is one of those who in the cd era I only had one album by and it was conquistador (Bill Evans was explorations, Eric Dolphy out to lunch and Albert Ayler... new grass) - I never did the deep exploration for whatever reason. Now when I need to scratch a Taylor itch I pick one at random from Spotify so basically the answer is no

i always say scotch because it is correct
what the scotchish think of it is neither here nor there

Some inhabitants of Scotland now call themselves 'Scots' and their affairs 'Scottish'. They are entitled to do so. The English word for both is 'Scotch', just as we call les francais the French, and Deutschland Germany. Being English, I use it.

wins what is ur haircare routine
― silby, Friday, 8 May 2020 19:48 (five years ago)
Ha I don’t have oneI wash and condition it frequently and I use an afro comb and I don’t blow dry, which means my hair takes a full fortnight to dry It is naturally nice and thick but a real responsible owner could do a lot more with it, close up you can see it’s a bit of a state lots of split ends &c

He also said, "But what have the Scots ever contributed to history?" Which seems a fairly stupid thing for a historian to say.
