Dear Wendy

I've just been reading an email from a colleague, who writes:"I have also to consult the Scots Corpus, which I am sure will be a delightful excursion in itself. 'Doon ra corpus' will soon be as much on the lips of Gleska folk as 'doon ra watter'. "

I am rather taken with this expression - it would be nice to have it in the corpus. Could we do this by putting in an email from me to you quoting it, as above?

Christian
