Proper terminology?

[Tartan Hiker]

When one straps on the article of our obsession, does one "wear the kilts" or does one "wear a kilt"?

Unless you plan to wear multiple kilts at once ( would be bloody warm as hell ), I would stick with the singular form.

I'm sure it would funny as hell to wear two or three kilts at once...especially if they were of dramatically different tartans, something like a couch fabric sampler I'm sure.

If you are one of the lucky ones that have more than one kilt I would say "I wear kilts." would be correct.

Just think of it this way.. Substitute kilt & kilts with pant & pants... The singular form sounds weird...

To "wear the kilt" is also proper terminology.

In Scotland on would "wear the Kilt" as Colin says !

I believe "wear the kilt" is correct, although it does make it sound like there is only one that everyone passes around.

I dunno about plural or singular but how's this; "The lasses pant when we don our Kilts"...?

Game, Set, Match.

...and that's the ballgame.

Kilts = 1
Pants = Too many to count ( lot's of women in the crowd!)
