THCD, Not THCD

[Liam]

I really do not want to get involved in this discussion other than to say that THCD is indeed an xmarks definition and was introduced here to make it clear that traditional kilt attire was under discussion , not Historical, not theatrical and not modern kilt styles. There was a time here on xmarks that rather unpleasant confusion occurred from time to time and the introduction of THCD along with the other clear labelling on xmarks solved many unpleasant discussions. Again to be perfectly clear, very few in Scotland have ever heard of THCD, why should they? The kilt is after all a Scottish garment connected to Scotland(at least for the last three hundred years or so anyway)in most people's minds anyway, that rightly or wrongly, some in the rest of the modern civilian world has decided to take an interest in, in relatively recent times. Nevertheless THCD does serve a useful purpose here on xmarks.

Jock...I don't wish to continue this either and I agree that that the term THCD is useful in exactly the way you describe, and the other issues such as how it came to be, who may have rights to wear it, only serve to cause friction.
