Scotland is a country filled with people who can read and write perfect English but can't speak a word of it but they think they are speaking it. Anyone ever watch that old BBC police series Taggert? I defy anyone to prove to me that he says any understandable English words.

My wife is half Scottish descent so she learned to speak English as a child. I tell her that I had to jump over Hadrian's Wall to find her among the Barbarians (I am Italian descent).
