I'm a Scottish man that likes whisky, haggis, and beer and I actually do own and wear (at the right occasions) a kilt. Unfortunately I balance it out by having an accent from a different part of the country to the one that adds about a dozen extra syllables to "purple burglar alarm"

I'm hearing something like "puerrrapleuh buerrragluerrr alarrrum." Do I have that about right?

Frankly I think we should call up the International Phonetic Association and tell them that you've developed a better transcription system than their alphabet

It's actually only two extra vowels

Purple burgulur alarum

That's also the same reason there are no Scottish guys called Carl

Which do you think is heavier? 1 kilo of feathers or 1 kilo of steel?
