| | Wordwizard Clubhouse - Australian English |
| | All Australians know that a can of beer is a tinnie, while a member of the Salvation Army is a Salvo. No one would think of referring to a tinno or Salvie. But don't bother asking who decided the ending, or what rule is used to choose the ending. | | | I am not about to defend 'the Simpsons'but wish to make this point - the show (love it or loathe it) has more social commentary and thus cultural worth than all the inane crap compiled together that comes out of the U.S. under the guise of 'comedy'. | | | Australians often appear to be embarrassed by it; the English think it sounds like South African; South Africans think it sounds like New Zealandish; New Zealanders hate it; Americans are baffled by it; and Asians refuse to believe that it is English at all. |
