Mary,
Yes please! This is the opportunity for the terminology in England and
Scotland (plus Wales and Northern Ireland if you're out there) to be brought
together. Please bear in mind that 'we-down-South' may not be familiar with
the terms you use, and supply a rough idea of the date range or cultural
affiliation of terms.

Do you want period terms from north of the border as well?
