Yeah, you get used to that ****.

My cousin didn't used to be able to spell 'little' c'z he'd never been to an English school.

At first I thought the site was being satirical but it looks like it's the actual scottish parliment website!

[SadisticSid]

Good lord. It's legitimate alright, although whether or not the person(s) who created it are is another matter.

[Taristin]

...wow.  Just Wow.


I guess it is true that the English language is always changing. In this case, it has broken away from english all together.

Another hundred years or so, and it'll not be recognizable... (Like English and German in the 1100's...)

I don't think that's english... seems to be the scottish dialect cause the spelling is consistent.

click the 'english sign language' below. It's text is in english

I wonder if, if and when we get a Yorksher and Humber Assembly, the site will be in Broad Yorkshire...

[aldo_14]

It's Scots.  Regional dialect.  Really it's just an extension of english with Scots pronounciation & some older words.... it is not a 'new' language, it's an old one.

Reminds me of Scrooge McDuck

[Rictor]

wtf??

See, I knew the Irish had their own thing, but I never actually bought into the Scottish stereotypes...until now.

and why the hell is "website" written as "wabsite". Its a new word, I'm pretty sure they didn't have the Net back in the middle ages.

[diamondgeezer]

Och

[an0n]

It's spelled that way because it's pronounced 'wAebsaIt'.

Or 'w-u-bsite' depending on where you are.
