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
