Do they typically vary in doing so from many Scottish sounding words to none? What about people from Leeds who have been in Glasgow for a year and a half? ---

> [@Hentor\_the\_Barbarian](#): > > That makes good sense. Do they typically vary in doing so from many Scottish sounding words to none? What about people from Leeds who have been in Glasgow for a year and a half? Sure, yes. To some extent it depends who you’re talking to and how likely they are to understand Scots. Folks from Leeds wouldn’t likely type in Scots, but as I understand it that’s not an issue here. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ask-a-paraplegic-girl/663606.md?page=3)
