It goes further than that. Various big data/machine learning things have imported the Scots wikipedia uncritically as a text corpus, meaning they're all fucked by the bad input (and ironically have further fucked up the Scots wikipedia, in an endless feedback loop, when imitators of the dastardly admin used online "Scots translators" to create more funny pages.) Basically every computational thing related to Scots is now impossible to trust, as well as possibly some other shit like academic papers that used the data.

One of the reddit posts described this person as "having done more damage to the Scots language than any other individual in history," and they may be right, though they are competing with some English kings who tried very hard indeed.
