Well, I've read that here and there too, and I wouldn't know enough to really know.

My point was, perhaps, it could be tolorated when someone calls the Marines a clan and the Leather Neck tartan a clan tartan or "my clan tartan." Same for the XMTS tartan etc; with the understanding, of course, that it is not the same meaning of the term "clan" as Scotus is using.

Also, that the group tartan folk respect that Scotus means by clan tartan, the tartan that the cheif of his clan has declared to be the clan tartan. Most of all, that we avoid statements, as I have seen from time to time, insulting or degrading to a tartan of meaning.
