~Beats finding them scotch taped to your monitor.
Is scotch tape Scotch or is it named that because of the tartan on the packaging?

Or either vice versa, one.

It doesn't taste like any of the whiskies to me, let alone Scotch.

The Brits in my circle customarily say "ansaphone" for what US'ns call an answering machine. Of course, until now, I thought they were saying "answer phone" and just ignoring the R, as is the Brit wont. In fact, maybe they *were and some genius decided to trademark the pronunciation.We certainly use "answer phone" as a generic term, but the spelling has not, to my knowledge, formally degenerated to "ansa" as yet. And hopefully never will. Translation is one thing. Abomination is another.
