So it was only natural to recoil and hope it's a typo in the weather report from Don Ingle:

One little typo and Bob wants to make an international incident out of
it.<G>
And don't start on the Scots - even those a few generations removed from
the heather. The Scots have a few words about such as would do so --
fortunately there are nice folks on the list or I would mention a few
Gaelic terms passed on down my family line that would not be nice to
hear so close to the Christmas season.
But have a care -- lest you fall into the typo trap and finding yourself
at the other end. Good gracious!! Miss one "n" and it's flap time in
cyperspace!<G>
