For years, an American has been writing articles in a stereotypical Scottish accent on the official Scots Wikipedia, and some people online are not happy

But many Scots and online users have expressed anger toward AmaryllisGardener, according to the report.The administrator showcasing the language in mangled English, users say, "has possibly done more damage to the Scots language than anyone else in history," per Motherboard.wrote in 2016:

"Sorry but as a Scot and native speaker of a Scots language what is written on this site barely resembles the actual Scots language. I find it insuting [sic] that you would pass this off as our native language which you clearly don't speak. Again, as a native Scot and native speaker, no one where uses this site as it isn't close to resembling any Scots language.

AmaryllisGardener wrote that if they could do it over again, they would focus on "keeping the wiki up and running instead of writing articles, but I meant the best." On August 25, they wrote: "I was only a 12-year-old kid when I started, and sometimes when you start something young, you can't see that the habit you've developed is unhealthy and unhelpful as you get older."states that the site is currently reviewing articles for language inaccuracies.

AmaryllisGardener on their talk page said, "I don't mind if you revert all of my edits, delete my articles, and ban me from the wiki for good. I've already found out that my "contributions" have angered countless people, and to me that's all the devastation I can be given."
