      They’re Scottish, and their language is challenged as it is. Be kind.

        Pffft, if you can write in Scots then basic English punctuation is a no-brainer.

              When I first moved there I had trouble communicating with the person at the hotel, and even now I am not convinced.

      I can’t forgive the lack of spaces after the full stops, but grandpa is clearly the Lord himself, therefore “He” is the correct capitalisation!

      It’s twitter, maybe it’s back when there was a 140 character limit, which spaces use up, so removing those spaces can save character limit, so you can finish what you want to say.

      The only words capitalized are Scotland and he. Most of the time “He” is the first word of a sentence anyway but in some languages all personal pronouns are capitalized and that’s a common mistake in english.

      Fuck the lack of spaces after full stops though.

      You should join the grammar nazi brotherhood. Being annoyed at petty little things like this is what they do best.

      He might have. I know a couple TikTok grandmas that come on my store showing me shit all the time, “look at this guy, angryseal. He’s gonna go viral!”. It’s how I heard of calvingrindz who is fucking spectacular and on YouTube thank fuck.

      Edit:

      It’s more likely he said, “I want a’body to see this ya wee bampot.”

      Don’t hate me. I googled Scottish slang.

    Very cool. Although he missed the Shetland islands which coincidentally are the most geologically unique part of Scotland.

    geologically correct as in “from the area it represents” or as in “typical of the area that it represents?”

    I’ve heard the Outer Hebrides islands in Scotland have the oldest rocks in the world. Will you ask him if that’s true?

      Do you have reason to believe that fossilesque and Harry Jefferies are the same person? If they are not, it is unlikely that Harry will see your question.
