Kilt History

[jfellrath]

Common law says something done twice becomes law. So new traditions pop up all the time, no problem. We take what we like and discard the rest, creating another new tradition. I'm just looking for a longer rest before analysts and bad historians and worse taxonomists get going again.

In the same way that people are constantly asking kilt-wearers if they're Scottish, play the pipes, etc., I think that fashion-oriented people feel the need to categorize kilts according to what they perceive their importance to the world of fashion to be. Hence your analysts, bad historians, and taxonomists getting all crazy in the noggin.

Is this grousing, am I grousing again? Am I a grouse? It sounds like another kind of parasite, like spouse does (don't go there, some of you).

Actually, I think a grouse is a bird. But here's the question... why isn't the plural of grouse grice? I mean, mouse-mice...

Arrghhh! I tried to resist but I have to post here because that makes the plural of spouse, spice! So maybe the Mormons have it right!
