I recently purchased Scots The Mither Tongue (2006) by @billykayscot. I purchased a paperback, and then realized taking notes was easier using an iPad app version. So I ended up buying it twice. (A thread)

As an American, and new to the study of Scots, I’ll reflect on what I’ve learned. Any and all mistakes and misinterpretations are my own. I gladly accept gentle correction.
I will keep quotes from the book to a minimum. Page numbers are from the Apple Books app version.
