Your spelled 'Harbour' wrongly

[ScottishShorts]

@TarteTartan Words are often spelt differently in the UK and USA. At times there are words used in Scotland that are spelt differently and or are not seen or heard in other "English" speakingh countries. There are differences in the spellings of words in the North, the Southj, and Islands as well as the Hebrides.

How ever it is customary to be proficient at a task/subject before one calls attention to the errs of others. YouR spelled Harbour" WRONGLY One says, you misspelt harbour,

[TarteTartan]

@ScottishShortst I see I did indeed write 'Your', rather than 'You'. A typo, as I generously allowed your reply to me, ie, I assume your quote 'How ever it is customary to be proficient at a task/subject before one calls attention to the errs of others.' is a typo. If not it is illiterate as well as rude.

However, 'Aberdeen Harbour' is spelled that way no matter how north, south, east or west you go in the British Isles, because that is what the City of Aberdeen say it is.

@TarteTartan Neither rood or eeli erate, just a wee laugh for me on a very slow morning. Sorry if you felt that. But in Scotland we spell where a ship docks "harbour", in America it is harbor, take your pick. As for the English language, my ancestors, as myself, spoke English, as they did French, Latin, Greek etc., as a second or third or such language. If the spelling bothers you to the extent you have to comment on that only, well don't look. It's not worth all the worry. Smile be happy.

@ScottishShorts Well, must confess I'm a hypocrite, because actually I DO spell Pearl Harbor with a U, tho' I know it's wrong. Can't abide the word spelled without it, apart from anything else, we Brits pronounce it 'harbur'.

BTW, did like your video, brought back happy memories of old stomping ground.

@TarteTartan "We Brits" have more accents and dialects than Wullie's got buckets. Every wee village in Scotland has its own dialect. Listen to Glasgow, Edinburgh, (both Princess St. then Leith Walk), Inverness, up the hill and doon the long mu-un, Nobody understands my cousins in Aberdeen. Then to the Islands and Highlands the Orkneys,. Shetlands etc. That's just a few of We Brits in Scotland. Then there is England, Wales and Ireland and all their dialects.

@ScottishShorts 'Aberdeen Harbour' is a proper name, as in 'Pearl Harbor' inUS English. As to the rest of your posting, I'm going to put it down to typos, rather than 'misspelt' words, or as we call them in Scotland 'misspelled' or normally in all UK we say 'wrongly spelled'. You really shouldn't argue points of English with a Scot - we were the first country to adopt English as our national language. We only changed the name to 'Scots' when England adopted English as THEIR national language.

@noelmasson Park scenes etc., are not shown. This will be corrected. Our intention is to support and promote all things Scottish, especially the smaller businesses and musical groups, artists etc., who are so often over looked for promotion, we do it free of charge. We accept no donations and no Government funding so being a working couple our resources are low. This year we will be on US, CAN, AU, TV, and others. I will try and get the other scenes on, with upbeat music. Thanks for the rep
