I was thinking something similar as I examined the other thread. The word "traditional" is, after all, still a word. Even its traditional meanings (little joke there, don't laugh too hard) are open to discussion as we often see on this forum. Narrow interpretations tend to be the opinion of one person.

Frankly, much of what I saw on the "new traditionalists" thread were, in my mind, just up-to-date traditionals. In my mind if you have a tartan kilt, a sporran and knee hose with fairly conservative shoes and shirt you're probably traditional, but remember - I did say "in my mind."

So... how far can you go? Well, how are fairly conservative (traditional?) people dressing these days? I think that the term "fairly conservative" sums it up for me. That probably means that we can argue about what that means now.

Words...

Words...

Words, words, words.

Makes one wonder how much we can get out of a word's worth.
