\"Stirling<\/a><\/p>\n

Today D. realized that there are all manner of rhyming words for kook<\/a>. House rhymes – say who-sss and you have it. Book also rhymes – say “boo” and put a “k” on the end. The best, though, is that cook<\/b> sounds exactly like kook<\/b>. Awesome. A “kook” is somebody who cooks food. Yeah. Right.<\/p>\n

Every now and again we’re glad that we speak American English rather than Scots English. How else would you know whether someone was talking about a “nutter” or somebody working in a restaurant?<\/p>\n

Of course, we have been told that “dune” should not be sung as “doon” (the way the Scots say the word “down”) but should be pronounced “dee-yoon” instead. Yeah. Sure. OK, then. We’ll sing it that way. In our own “who-sss” we’ll keep on saying “doon” instead.<\/p>\n
