Comments by Keith and Dean on the wots my grammar like thread got me thinking.

Coming from a rural background in Aberdeenshire I was constantly told in school " could you repeat that in English please" this was back when there was a directive to schools to stamp out the use of the Scots language or in my case the Doric dialect.

I believe it is now being taught as a subject in some if not all schools like Gaelic is in the west coast. Personally I think this is good, local culture should not be forgotten.

I'm sure this must have happened in many other areas of the country? Or was it just me oops

Any recollections?
