"It will be a sad day when Scots can’t pronounce simple words like ‘loch’ properly."

Will it really, though? Sad? Honestly?

It will, oh it will you snobbish Lowlander!

Our teacher stresses its importance anyway. And it really does seem to be everywhere! The ending <-achd> is pronounced 'ochk'. I guess the Scottish rain is actually people spitting on eachother trying to get the words out! Heh... heh... I tried.

It's funny that you enclosed your actions in slash brackets, the notation for phonemes. Funny in the same way losing velar fricatives is sad.
