As indicated in ISO 639 standard[1], the English name for the Gaelic of
Scotland is "Scottish Gaelic" and not "Scots Gaelic".  Although it is
used, Scots Gaelic is the wrong term and what's more, is confusing.  The
Wikipedia article on Scottish Gaelic [2] agrees with this.  It does not
need discussion: it has already been discussed by the International
Organisation for Standardisation.  Please just use the ISO standard.
