  Slang words that are being subtitled wrong because the locale automatically sets to English (international) instead of English (UK) for a lot of players.

  It’s in the article if you bothered to read it

    I’m not sure that’s what he meant: are the words Scottish slang, or are they just Scottish words and considered slang by the vile English?

      Scots is considered a dialect, no-one calls it slang.

        Scots is a completely separate but related language, not a dialect

    They are not slang words, they are words from the Scots language.

  I wonder how one would go about finding that out? Maybe someone wrote an article somewhere that explains it

    What they are calling slang is actually a language.
