Is it the Scotch Snap, the Scottish Snap or the Scots Snap? A Google search showed the first two with about the same number of hits, with the third one less common. I guess the real question is, what do people in Scotland say? —[[User:Anne Delong|Anne Delong]] ([[User talk:Anne Delong|talk]]) 15:06, 25 February 2013 (UTC) |

:To be quite honest, we don't. What is described as a "Scotch snap" is vaguely similar to a common rhythm in Scottish traditional music - an accented short note followed by a longer - but really what we play is quite different to what classical musicians mean by it, the structure of it being bound up in context, technique, and idiom. The word Scotch itself in modern Scots tends to be thought of as an exclusively external imposition, and its use can arouse some ire.
