Scottish-episode 4

I find it interesting that Scottish news is in English and that even if they say the news in Scottish, it basically sounds the same except for a couple of words and a different accent. This is because the Anglo-Saxons also settled Scotland and created a Northern variety of English. Scotland was able to keep its unique twist on English because of the many border wars fought between the Scottish and English that separated the two languages and helped foster the individual growth of the two. Scottish traditions and stories are taught orally because of tradition and many tribes still preserve their history through this method today. As was related in the video, Robert Burns was a poet who "shunned English" and "restored his nation's voice" by preserving and encouraging Scottish through his literary works. This video has helped me realize that Scottish is really annoying! Can you please speak correctly? I mean, you've got it all wrong....anyway sorry for my little random rant. I bet this looks funny in Scottish. I promise, I don't have ADD. So, once I had to do a report on the poet Elizabeth Bishop who was very talented in her work and won many awards for them. Robert Burns and Elizabeth Bishop were both poets who left their mark on the world by expressing their reality through an artistic form of language and writing. Through Robert Burns' work, he was able to help preserve a dying language!!
