Honestly , because it ' s a languagedialect that I speak but don ' t write and having to write it takes extra effort and same for having to read it so in effect it is something that takes far more effort and is for me far less efficient . If you say Maist fowk thit jyn in wi talks aboot Scots language isnae aw that hostile tae it to me in person I know exactly what you ' re saying but if you write it down I have to read every word to know that you ' re saying Most people that join in with discussions on the Scots language aren ' t usually hostile towards itI don ' t think there ' s anything wrong with having an unwritten language or whatever it just gets my back up when people try to reintroduce the written angle when anything written in English can be read in scots anyway .
