"It's wrong to say: He's Scottish dear. Not British....Especially when you say it with that snotty, condescending tone."
It's not wrong, and for you to continue to insist on this semantic definition of Scotland and the Scots people, who are Celts, whereas the British are descended from Angles and Saxons and the ancient name of their (English) country was Pretania (Britain), you are displaying your ignorance and insecurity. When England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales formed a united country they took the name Great Britain, but the Scots are no more British than the New Jerseyans who live in the "greater Philadelphia metropolitan area" are Pennsylvanians.
Texasflower has been saying, I believe with some merit, that certain Freepers' enthusiasm for Ann's looks and her history has blinded them to her actual poor performance on the Ferguson show; and that the same men who defend Ann's smart-alex feistiness are attacking Texasflower for hers. I am forced to agree. Sorry.
Really? So you could live in Philadelphia for generations but you aren't a Pennsylvanian if your ancestors were from New Jersey. That's just silly.
