Yes, I believe it is. I've often wondered why.
In my opinion English, American, Doric and Lallans are different languages that share a common root but which were separated by several centuries before the advent of electronic broadcatsing. They have different grammars[*], different verbal declensions[**] and different vocabularies[***].
[*] "You have to, don't you" (not the best example but it's 01:40 BST at present).
[**] "gotten" (yes, I agree about the older form of tha language), etc.
[***] Pissed, fanny, closet, faggot, restroom, lift, etc.
Before the excellent Drawscore points it out, I know this isn't an original argument but it's always fun to pursue.
Wassail!
