I'm seriously considering starting a thread called:
Tartan and the English language

We've all learned that the term "dress" doesn't mean "formal" when it comes to tartans. Hmmm.

Now we have word from the Tartan Registry that Black Watch is not, what some are calling, "open".

Here's the confusing part:

"The tartan was known in the 18 century as the “Government Tartan” and is based on the Royal tartan. It then became known as the “Universal” tartan and now is called the “Black Watch” tartan."

There's every possibility that folks are taking "universal" to mean "open to all".

Where's Paul Harvey with "The Rest of the Story" when we need him? 8)
