1625086592623714304 | @BillyPTSD @shave_in_edin @Lenniesaurus @ionafyfe @MizLiot @emmagraeauthor They speak fluent English because as soon as they start school they're forced to speak English and drop the Scots words. They're also very similar languages due to how they evolved and the proximity of the countries. It's fascinating when you look into it x | 0 |
1625087276102434817 | @ChazzerRoo @shave_in_edin @Lenniesaurus @ionafyfe @MizLiot @emmagraeauthor Well, as someone who has living in Glasgow my entire life I can assure you Scotland is a country divided. Unionism, and separatism is a big part of everyoneโs lives. People canโt admit the English invented the language so theyโll tick a box caller โScotsโ instead. Itโs sad. | 0 |
1625087771697184769 | @ChazzerRoo @shave_in_edin @Lenniesaurus @ionafyfe @MizLiot @emmagraeauthor There isnโt 1.5m people running around speaking a mysterious language (Iโve never encountered personally) until School age called โScotsโ. Your telling my 1.5m people in Scotland are bilingual? They arenโt, I can assure you. This is fantasist nonsense. | 0 |
1625089790298259457 | @BillyPTSD @shave_in_edin @Lenniesaurus @ionafyfe @MizLiot @emmagraeauthor If you look at Norwegian and Swedish there are some very similar words there, they were the same country until Norway gained independence in 1905, it's a similar situation. Maybe I see more Scots in everyday conversation as I live in an Ayrshire village ๐ค | 0 |
1625090866258841600 | @ChazzerRoo @shave_in_edin @Lenniesaurus @ionafyfe @MizLiot @emmagraeauthor Iโve lived in Glasgow for decades and have never met a single โScotsโ speaker. Like you, I went to university and spent years with people from all over Scotland in various classrooms. There is no 1.5m โScotsโ speakersโ. Itโs separatist nonsense which is sadly prevalent up here. | 0 |

1625181978348732441 | @emmagraeauthor Attempts by certain parts of the media and the GC mob to downplay the possibility of the murder being a hate crime (because they then might have to assume some responsibility in stoking the fire) seem so odd to me. | 2 |
