If we’re all so horrible, why are you still here? Starting more threads in a day than I’ve seen the need to in several years? Asking our advice about a situation most of us by definition have no experience with? What do you really want out of SDMB participation?

FYI, Scots don’t write like Bobbie Burns, even if they talk like him. They very well might say “nae” but they’d write “no”.

It just comes naturally. I’m so horrible I’m thinking about starting a blog. A _singalong_ blog. And maybe becoming a doctor.

Depends on whether they’re speaking/writing in English or Scots (Lallans).
