PS: Saesneg = Saxon = English

Thanks for the P.S., mav. I have a Canadian friend of Scots origin who invariably refers to the English as "sassenacks" (I think... never saw him write it, phonetic approximation here) and now, thanks to you, I know the Gaelic origin. This friend also sports a tee-shirt that reads "The only reason Scotland doesn't float off to the North Sea is because* England sucks."
