Ardchoille, here is your solution -

If you find a member's posts upsetting you, you can easily ignore that member with the above steps.

We're ranging between 350 - 500 posts each day, so ignoring a handful really won't make much difference in the overall scheme of things.
This is certainly not a serious issue in Scotlands school system. Scotlands schools are as good as any and they teach very good English, they certainly don't teach people to write phonetically.
Though people all over Britain are now encouraged to keep their local accent.

The school system may have an issue about teaching ancient Scottish languages, but that is not what P1M uses.

It makes no difference to me as I am British and have not yet met a Scotsman that I couldn't understand.

Maybe we should look at our xmark friends in Russia, Germany, France, Norway etc. for whom English is not their first language but they take the trouble to post in English. They have my respect.

I was surprised to hear that P1M is American. I quite enjoy his posts, even now that I know he is puting on that accent.
