All this is correct, so you can understand why one might find it strange
to be looking for Goths where there is no Gothic -- or a least that's
what it seemed like -- now I've learned that there are "other' Goths that
do not speak Gothic -- perhaps what (as I suspected) are dealing with
here is that term "Gothic" is of limited scholarly use and only makes
good copy for T.V. programs.
