    This discussion reminds me of this synopsis of Brigadoon, and this funny line:

    No doubt as a courtesy to the hordes of American tourists who drop in uninvited every hundred years, the accommodating denizens of the village have taken time out from their hectic social schedule to abandon Gaelic and learn modern-day English -- but they have thoughtfully retained a slight Scottish burr and a few pungent Scotticisms to add just the right touch of ethnic flavor to their speech.
