Does it also wind you up when people refer to you as Scotch instead of Scottish ?

[Scunner]

People who believe the plural of pound is pound.

[Colwyn]

What, like not saying "It is a ten pounds note"?

[Scunner]

No, like saying "It cost me ten pound".  

[Ray1951]

Dialect and basterdising the English language are two different things.  Young people copy what they repeatedly hear on TV so Coronation Street, Eastenders and the Only Way is Essex all have a part to play in this.  Then there is texting: young people abbreviate everything and they end up speaking that way too.  It was once the case that people from Inverness were regarded as the people who spoke the 'best'  BBC English.

[KKOB]

Yeah, innit.
