why call it "The Kilt"?
Just wondering why any kilt is referred to as the kilt instead of a kilt. The only other times I can think of clothing being called "the" anything is the (insert blank) uniform. I assume that's because it is a defined set of clothing and the only set that fits that definition. ex: the uniform of the day tomorrow is the class A uniform. On the other hand when I describe a piece of clothing, like the shirt with red stripes and blue buttons, but not really just the shirt. just to me hearing "the kilt" makes me think "there must only be 1" sometimes.
again, just curious here
