why do scottish people do this online?
they basically type using the slang they would speak in. It's basically like "aye ah ken ah dinny ken sake aye ken braw aye yeh ken wee giril" ah canney day thut ken." And if I come across that while browsing I don't even bother to try and read it.
Virtually every country and city has their own dialect, but (certainly nowhere near the same extent) you don't see people from England using a local slang term every 2nd word in every single sentence. For some reason anyone who isn't scottish is able to type online using mostly English words without forcing in so much local slang.
Are scottish people just so desperate for the rest of the world to recognise their text as "scots" so everyone else can go "omg that person must be scottish!". it does seem desperate and sad

Most people around the world use their native language whenever appropriate. Scots is NOT "slang", but a separate westgermanic language that evolved in paralel to English. It may seem a dialect of English because the English have anglified Scotland to a very significant degree

You just wouldn't Adam and Eve it, I was just having a pig's ear and chinwag with my skin down the rubber, when I took a butcher's at you comment. It put a real Sandy Lyle on my boat, and I had a giraffe all the way down the frog to my drum. You're a diamond.
