Guess even in my short time kilted the response has become automated for me.
Polite, well inteneded skirt comment = Thank you, its called a kilt, which is a type of skirt. When they hear the word kilt their brain usually ratchets in on that concept and there is an "oh yeah."
Digging kind of comment = a macho glare, sometimes with and sometimes without stating that its more properly called a kilt.
Whichever may happen...I let it slide after that. No way I can change other people's lack of education and/or lack of social graces.
