    As an American, the 'ae' replacing 'n't' and 'o' at the end of words is quite my favorite Scottish-ism, specifically in the context of Twitter when folks write/spell in this way. Not sure why, but it allows me to hear the words in accent in my head as I read them. All other English language texts are read in my own boring inner monologue voice. God bless you Scottish Twitter. And Scots in general.
