It's time for my #Christmas2021 gift guide! I thought it might be a good idea to guide you through the work I've made over seven years of @indy_prints and then share some other small businesses. [a thread] 👇👇👇
@indy_prints Before I get to the good stuff, I want to note that it's been a difficult year for many of us, and while you might have less to spend, I hope you that when you do spend you'll consider supporting these small businesses, rather than the shareholders of big corporations.
I've been buying my presents from real people for a few years now and it feels so much more satisfying. I'd be grateful if you would join me.
Okay. Preaching over, now the goods…

Here is an update to last week’s discussion of the the Prologue to Scots by Billy Kay. Here follows my discussion of Chapter 1. Thank you to all the kind people who responded to the last post. I hope I saw all the comments. I don’t think I had my notifications set correctly.

I recently purchased Scots The Mither Tongue (2006) by @billykayscot. I purchased a paperback, and then realized taking notes was easier using an iPad app version. So I ended up buying it twice. (A thread)

As an American, and new to the study of Scots, I’ll reflect on what I’ve learned. Any and all mistakes and misinterpretations are my own. I gladly accept gentle correction.
I will keep quotes from the book to a minimum. Page numbers are from the Apple Books app version.

Something that no one ever asks me is 'where do I come up with the colours for my work?' I'm going to explain it anyway and illustrate it with an example. ¡THREADALERT! 👇👇👇
This is my take on the famous #ScotsLanguage saying 'It's a braw, bricht moonlit nicht the nicht' [Plug: available in my @indy_prints shop as a print, poster, card, magnet and more]. indy-prints.com/search?type=pr…
Harry Lauder used to follow that with 'an if ye can say that, yer aw richt'. These days, I feel more like if you can type that, yer aw richt. Trying to make 'night' fingers type 'nicht' is a bugger. Anyway. The colours.
