"Duh."

No. I think it's just a general language barrier between the two of us.

I don't imagine the gender of a non-extant dinosaur in a loch really matters...

Scots are getting offended at what you're saying because we're known for a lot more than Nessie; Nessie is not a big part of our culture, and it's annoying that Americans harp on about it all the time. You're not really qualified to answer a question about Scottish stereotypes when you're perpetuating such a limited vision of Scotland yourself.

Apologies if this comes across as harsh, but it's just annoying as hell... WE HAVE SO MUCH MORE TO OFFER THE WORLD :ashamed2:

Can they even really tell right away that you are English?


Edinburgh is full of rahs so you pick up on who's English and who isn't fairly quickly.
