    Well, TECHNICALLY he was correct. You can also wear jeans backwards, or a cowboy hat, or a shirt, but that doesn't mean it will look right or that it is the proper way to wear it. I say discreetly inform the person of their error. If the person does not accept the correction, let them be.

    Seems like if he was at a Highland Games type event there would be no shortage of people eager to correct him. Might be fun to follow him around a while and see how many folks make that attempt.

    Been my experience around Scots that we don't hesitate to set folks right...

    I would consider it kinda like telling a guy his fly was down. Be discreet, but tell him.

    Unfortunaely I see this happen all to often. I much as I appreciate the attempt, it is something that needs to be corrected. I think the worst case I saw of this was a guy who looked like he went a bought a checkered table cloth, like the ones you would see at an Italian restaurant, had his wife sew so pleats into it and strapped it on and it was on backwards too boot.

    I have come to the conclusion that the only thing to do is point and laugh.
