Now, you’ve gone beyond the pale, presuming to correct George Washington. He said “Scotch Irish,” get over it, lol.

Yea, I know, I know. I have posted the quote both ways, and I get chewed out both ways.

Analytical is not one of the characteristics of a Scotsman – so I suspect we have some people with some mixed English or Norman blood posting here.

And for me to go head to head with them and argue the proper spelling of the word is more than I want to chew. And you know us Irish and Scots-Irish, ... we don’t like biting off more than we can chew – unless it’s an Englishman’s leg.
