Indeed. But I'm such diehard 18th century man that my use of the word
"Scotch" for the residents of Scotland was forever cemented by my
favorite Boswellian anecdote:
James Boswell once asked Sam Johnson what he would think if after he
died his Dictionary was to be edited by a Scotch Presbyterian, to which
the Great Cham replied something to the effect, "My dear Bozzie, in
order to be humorous one need not also be facetious."
I got a million of 'em,
