In English please?

I admit was critic of people writing in "scots" as it came across as being disrespectful to the way that we speak and I did criticise Robertson in particular, the reason being that I hate it when people mimic how we speak, however I understand that Robertson Resides in Scotland and is Sincere in his belief that its a language all of its own and its quite commen to see the language written that way in his part of Scotland. my own feelings are that its very Regional how most people post in a kind of South west/Glasgow way of speaking, across the country words and accents vary so much thast not including the island folk, so to call it "Scots" is Nae rerally accurate, how Robertson posts is a fairly accurate phonetic representation of a southern Scots accent, however Its like music it sounds better than it looks written down

I wrote that Robertson's posts were a Scottish accent written phonetically, but reading the other posts I began to think I may be misleading people. So thank you for posting that.

One good that could come from P1M's posts, if people read them aloud as they are written, and understand them, they just may have a little less trouble understanding the broad Scottish accents they may come across should they visit Scotland.
