bitches will eviscerate an entire language and go “can’t help being an INTP”

Aye, I saw this earlier. What a fucking dickhead.

What the fuck. I’ve never even looked at Scots Wikipedia before, and this is awful. I’ve long been a proponent of the Scots language and explaining that it isn’t just “an accent”. Here’s hoping this can be turned around.

My twitter feed has been going bonkers with this all night. It certainly makes some of the attempts at Scots dialect I’ve edited in fiction make a lot more sense. 

#genuinely fuck off if you think this is funny #Scots is a dying language #and aye it’s a fucking language#not just a dialect #we have our own dialects within that language #it’s not just ‘improper’ English #cause it’s not English#it’s Scots #and I grew up not being allowed to speak it in school #Scots Literature was an elective #in my own country #I didn’t read any stories in my own language until I was at university #and this is a huge fucking deal and I’m SO angry
