On one hand, hey I can comprehend a foreign language and theres some delightful spellings in there. Neat. On the other hand, every tenth-ish word is some kind of confounding jargon.

And thats a delightful banner calling out the article as being in bad Scots.

At one point, like half or more of the entire Scots Wikipedia was made by a single guy who had translated everything word-for-word through an online dictionary, so the articles were complete rubbish as a result. It did tangible damage to the reputation of Scots as a language.

Edit: Too slow, darn
