Rabbie??? Rabbie??? Burn, kill the heretic. He miswrote the name of
The Saint (even if his phoentics were approximately correct). :-)
Chris,
What on earth is wrong with Rabbie Burns? It is the affectionate
way that is used by most (almost all) Scots. Just check Google, and
you will find many references to Rabbie Burns as well as Robert
Burns. Spell the Saint's name? Me? Never! I may misspell even
Shekespeer, but Never Rabbie Burns.
Warm regards,
Peter
