the issue really is that scots and english are mutually intelligible related languages which would normally be written almost the same (albeit scots trends towards to bearing more use of Old English vocabulary and less french influence on pronunciation)

there is also just plain people speaking english proper with a scottish accent, who would be quite cross if theywere subtitled while someone speaking scots itself might use enough different words under the accent that its legit no longer understandable

also because of where people lived/what territory was controlled theres a decent amount of scots-speakers in ireland but very few in the highlands of scotland, since those areas mostly kept their version of gaelic etc. so its not like all of scotland is scots speakers

This article needs an improved plot summary. (January 2015)
Jennifer has an over-evolved, hyperactive reproduction system, unsatisfied by all but the most intense intercourse, often resulting in the death of her partners and the birth of mutant babies. Batz has an overgrown, sentient penis, which he tries to tame using strong medication, obscure mechanical contraptions, and copious amounts of porn. When Jennifer meets Batz she becomes obsessed with him, convinced that he is the only man who can satisfy her. When they finally meet, they bond over their social and personal difficulties and lack of sexual fulfillment. However, they must somehow tame Batz' increasingly erratic penis before it can go on a murder spree.

An interesting development here in Denmark is that 2nd gen immigrants speak more clearly regional dialect than us inbreds. Someoe theorized that the 2nd gens are signifying integration, whereas the whites are signifying the opposite.

Then there's a layer of sociolect on top too, man I love language.

gaul and germania were some of my most favorite pun-worthy names in asterix and obelix

germany went with it though

still think we should call them germanians

On the topic of Wikipedia language fun, you may or may not have heard of the 'language' Lower Saxon. Lower Saxon is spoken in an area in the east of the Netherlands, and an adjoining area in the west of Germany.

Speakers claim it's a language so they made their own Wikipedia: https://nds.wikipedia.org the 'Plattdüütsch / Neddersassisch' wiki. It's written by Lower Saxon speakers in Germany. It reads like a dialect of German.

Then it apparently turned out that Netherlands Lower Saxons can't understand poo poo of what German Lower Saxons are saying or writing. So... they loving made their OWN Lower Saxon wikipedia: https://nds-nl.wikipedia.org the 'Nedersaksiese' wiki. It reads like a dialect of Dutch, not German.

Sorry guys but if you can't communicate with people supposedly speaking the same local "language", because they live across a country border, it's no longer a local language, it's just a couple of dialects. The fact that they need two separate Wikipedias is enough proof that they should just pack up already and stop shilling their dialects as a language.

Cause it's directed by one of their contemporaries who is actually p awesome

not worthless

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basket_Case_(film) Rex Reed's quotation ("This is the sickest movie ever made!") used in promotion was not from any printed review. Reed had sought out the film after hearing negative reviews and was asked his opinion after emerging from the cinema. Unknown to Reed, the person who asked him was director Frank Henenlotter. Initially furious that his comment was used to promote the film, Reed eventually relented and granted permission.

but i found it jumping from this p worthless starting point

Get in

[...]Non-US, non-military personnel have been to the base. Some are still there.

Sleep

There are small dark personal rooms and on occasion shared dorms. Both of these are fully catered.
