Jock, I agree with you 100% about the continued appropriateness of traditional kilt wear. In fact, a key point in the definition of tradition is that it is an ongoing practice, as opposed to something confined to history.
My comment was only about writing mechanics... an open bracket deserves a closed bracket!

A Freudian slip, perhaps? 
Perhaps it might be a time to review the definition or "traditional" while we are at it then? It seems that two of us at least, agree that the XMTS definition of "traditional" is not altogether sound.

Yes, it may be that the bracket was left out as a Freudian slip... or maybe it was intentional?
Either way, I would be interested in reviewing the Xmarks definition of traditional. Perhaps the Traditional Highland Dress sub-forum be a better place for that...

In the mean time, we still need a bracket!

But the forum IS my break!
I'm working on comprehensive examinations for my PhD, which are basically a couple of large papers. This means I'm spending a lot of time with words, grammar, formatting, etc, and that's probably why the missing bracket is gnawing at me...
