Accent clash
Derek McClure is rather harsh in his humourless castigation of Erikka Askeland over her use of the term “British English”
instead of “Scottish English”
(Letters, 6 May).
As a Torontonian living in Edinburgh, I have discovered that most Scottish inhabitants seem to be similarly unaware of the clear distinction between Canadian Engish and American English.
Touché, as they say in Canadian French.
