Sean Connery is Scottish, not Irish

Actually no, I know I have an Irish accent. And yes, everyone has some kind of accent, but it's a question of degrees. A Scottish accent or a deep south US accent is far more pronounced than a neutral English accent.

The point is that an accent is a deviation from standard pronunciation.

I guess that if an AI "learned" language from Die Antwoord, it would have a South African accent. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a scene where Dev Patel leaves and finds the robot has learned to speak while he was away.

Anyway, as I said... because movies.

Hugh Jackmans haircut is still stupid though

Why Craig? Why do you abandon us now? You Scottish BASTARD! WHY????

Late night is dead............. The only thing now is to drink myself in to oblivion... With Irish whiskey! you Hear that you SCOTTISH BASTARD! IRISH Whiskey

Strangely enough, it seems the ears are not required to be a Scottish fold. The ones that don't have the folded ears are called "Straights".

In an extremely rare example of decency (in my experience), breeders have realized that breeding for pure, homozygous folds leads to health problems and it is now considered an unethical practice. So I, for one, am not about to call them out on the idea of a breed that doesn't breed true. I'd much rather see healthy cats that only exhibit the characteristics of the breed 50% of the time.

Scottish fold? With those ears?

Well, yes...but those are only some of the reasons FOR wanting secession. Many southerners have wanted secession since they were unsuccessful the first time they tried, and believe (rightly or wrongly) that they've suffered over a century of mistreatment...on top of the reason you mention.
On the other side I must imagine many 'Scottish' are of English lineage so don't feel as mistreated? (perhaps why their secession failed?)
I see the question differently, to me, it's do you have a right to leave...for ANY reason you find reasonable. You've added another layer. You've made me see that to the 'Democratic friends' it's likely only OK for reasons the 'Democratic friends' think are reasonable, not an absolute right a people may use for their own reason. That's a disappointing thought, but probably correct.

Heh. That's no cat.
Scottish-Folds: Did you trade your ears to the devil?! Where are they?!

Anyone know the relevance of the Aussie flag and 'crikey'? American show, Scottish (not English) host so his accent can't even be mistaken for Australian?

I wish they let him stick with a Scottish accent
