It was around the time the American presence at Machrihanish was increasing and one story doing the rounds was of the American C.O.'s wife , having got a copy to try to "unnerstan" the natives, learned of a word which translated as "extremely". At a rather grand "meet and greet" dinner party where all the "High heed yins o the toon" were attending , she announced to the grand assemblage that she thought it "a lovely area and wasn't it a hooruva nice day today?"
Probably apocryphal but a nice story anyway
