The fuck is Scots?
I've seen subtitles for people with strong Scottish accents.
Back when I was freelancing in the late 00s I was heavily incentivised to work as many hours as possible, but I don't think I ever managed more then 6 hours proper work in a day.And I reckon I can think for maybe... 4 hours, tops. So I do proper work, absolutely unrealistic best case scenario, 16 hours a week. But that's probably not going to happen, it'll really be something in the low double digits.
"Scots (endonym: Scots) is a West Germanic language variety spoken in Scotland and parts of Ulster in the north of Ireland (where the local dialect is known as Ulster Scots).[4] It is sometimes called Lowland Scots or Broad Scots to distinguish it from Scottish Gaelic, the Goidelic Celtic language that was historically restricted to most of the Highlands, the Hebrides and Galloway after the 16th century.[5] Modern Scots is a sister language of Modern English, as the two diverged independently from the same source: Early Middle English (1150–1300[6])"The fuck is Scots?
Ah yeah. I was wondering. Yeah" Ulster Scots" is not a language, no more than Scottish twitter writing in Oor Willie accent style is a language."Scots (endonym: Scots) is a West Germanic language variety spoken in Scotland and parts of Ulster in the north of Ireland (where the local dialect is known as Ulster Scots).[4] It is sometimes called Lowland Scots or Broad Scots to distinguish it from Scottish Gaelic, the Goidelic Celtic language that was historically restricted to most of the Highlands, the Hebrides and Galloway after the 16th century.[5] Modern Scots is a sister language of Modern English, as the two diverged independently from the same source: Early Middle English (1150–1300[6])"
IMO it's at least 50:50 that the whole thing is just the Scots pretending their accent is a language in order to fuck with the English
Some of my best friends are Scotch.Aye, racist bawbags the lot of ye.
In an old job, we tendered for some govt thing up in Norn Iron, so the information we got was in English, Irish and Ulster Scots.Some of my best friends are Scotch.

Our Business Development manager, rugby D4 guy called Charles, had never seen Ulster Scots before, and he found it hilarious. His boss, a stern Scottish Presbyterian, was not at all happy at the jollyment Charles was getting out of reading Ulster Scots.
It got to the a point where the guy from Derry (i.e., not Londonderry) had to go "Charlie, this isn't cool, you need to stop. Yes, it is funny, but you NEED to stop that now", as Scottish boss slowly simmered with increasing rage. Charlie was just like "ah stop being such an uptight Scottish Presbyterian prick, You can't think this is a real, loike, focking language, this shit is fonny as fock". That did not help matters at all. It almost came to blows.
Dunno about the INTP brony part, but yeah there was talk about this guy in work so I presume it is true.
Having a separate wikipedia for Scots seems a bit mental to me anyway. It's fairly debatable whether it's a language at all
Depends on perspective. London English is a minority version of the English language, and for an American English speaker either are just weird stuff"Scots (endonym: Scots) is a West Germanic language variety spoken in Scotland and parts of Ulster in the north of Ireland (where the local dialect is known as Ulster Scots).[4] It is sometimes called Lowland Scots or Broad Scots to distinguish it from Scottish Gaelic, the Goidelic Celtic language that was historically restricted to most of the Highlands, the Hebrides and Galloway after the 16th century.[5] Modern Scots is a sister language of Modern English, as the two diverged independently from the same source: Early Middle English (1150–1300[6])"

HmmmI've never been busier. And I've never been pushed as hard because now I'm the senior dude and the others are very new.
I've been offered freelance work today, and the guy said "I want to set you up for a years worth of work because I want you to commit to it". But it'd be a day here, half a day there.
