[Ltru] More about Description fields

Wed Dec 13 23:50:32 CET 2006

Thanks for posting us.
I've always referred to the Celtic language of Scotland as Scots Gaelic as 
opposed to Scots dialect which is English spoken as the Scottish folk speak 
it.
However apparently Scots is now the term for the Scottish variety of 
English--I checked it out at the famous Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scots_language
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_Gaelic_language
Thanks very much.
