Well, isn't that just a happy little mystery in language? In Edinburgh, they call a cupboard a "press" because of the influence of Scottish Gaelic on the local dialect. Language is like a beautiful landscape, with different colors and shapes that make it unique in each place. Embrace these little quirks and let them add some joy to your day!
