Scots 'have 421 words' for snow

Of course it has no such thing, and the headline is misleading.<p>It has 421 words that to varying degrees are related to snow.<p>If you look at the actual online thesaurus [1], and expand the subcategories, you see that this includes e.g. specific types of clothing worn in snow or stormy weather.<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;scotsthesaurus.org&#x2F;thescat&#x2F;873&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;scotsthesaurus.org&#x2F;thescat&#x2F;873&#x2F;</a>

Are &#x27;quotes and questions&#x27; the &#x27;best clickbait&#x27;?<p>More seriously - is the headline supposed to be a statement of fact, i.e. &quot;Scots have 421 words for snow&quot;? The article would seem to indicate it is indeed a fact, and the &#x27;quote&#x27; is not actually a quote.<p>I honestly &#x27;hate&#x27; the use of these &#x27;quotes&#x27;. Does anyone with any BBC knowledge know what the reasoning is behind these?

If you are interested in the relationship between language and landscape&#x2F;environment then I&#x27;d strongly recommend Robert Macfarlane&#x27;s book <i>Landmarks</i> [1][2]. Definitely one of my reading highlights of the last year.<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theguardian.com&#x2F;books&#x2F;2015&#x2F;feb&#x2F;27&#x2F;robert-macfarlane-word-hoard-rewilding-landscape" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theguardian.com&#x2F;books&#x2F;2015&#x2F;feb&#x2F;27&#x2F;robert-macfarla...</a><p>[2] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.co.uk&#x2F;Landmarks-Robert-Macfarlane&#x2F;dp&#x2F;0241146534" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.co.uk&#x2F;Landmarks-Robert-Macfarlane&#x2F;dp&#x2F;02411...</a>

Title is totally misleading.<p>At least in everyday use here, these are the only ones I know:<p>- Snow (teuchters would say &#x27;snaw&#x27;)<p>- Sleet<p>- Snain (this is something inbetween sleet and rain, wetter than sleet)

Are there any other languages with similar things like this?
