Maybe thats why i failed my spelling tests...lol
We are normal and I spelt correctly in Australian English. Yes, we've got our own version of English. In American English the idea is to drop as many letters as possible from each word. I think it's because Americans cannot handle big words.
Australia is actually the top of the world. Everyone else is upside down.
I've noticed the Aussie accent works surprisingly well with American women...
Posted by: Simon at October 23, 2003 08:42 AMYeah, the accent works pretty well until you insult our mental capacity. ;-)
Posted by: Jennifer at October 23, 2003 02:48 PMOn Aussie Mental capacity:
Is it me or does "spelt" not mean "spelled"?
Who's dropping letters now?
Daniel, Jennifer, play nice with the new kids....
