    I thought to myself who cares what they think. I'm wearing my kilt TODAY. Not in 1901 to 1980's.

    I have come to understand that traditional and modern are two terms describing two different styles of kilt style. Both being relevant and worn today.

    I was therefor mislead by the title of that subforum and very confused by it. Recently a thread in that subforum has made it known that there are others that feel the way I do about the phrase in parentheses.
    There are yet others who fear if the phrase is removed or if the date 1980's was removed it will mislead in the other direction.
    Therefor I propose a slight clarification of the subforums title.

    Traditional Highland Dress
    The place for discussion of Traditional and Classic Highland Apparel and Style. (Originating from the Reign of Edward VII to the 1980's)

    Are you only making a one-word change? If so, I don't think it's worth the effort.
