  ::As does outwith.  Many Scots live outside Scotland and we use outwith without hesitation, so it is used outside Scotland. I've never had anybody query me on its meaning and that meaning is pretty clear in this sentence.  I see no reason to change it.  If you want to change Wikipedia to Standard English, there are plenty of Americanisms to take up your time but I'd suggest that you accept minor national variants in English spelling, vocabulary and grammar.   |  19:25, 2004 Jun 27 (UTC)
