Australian English
 

Guys,

The misuse of "then" and "than" -I just don't get it. "I'd rather go for a drive [B]then[/B] sit at home" when it should be "I'd rather go for a drive [B]than[/B] sit at home"


Where did this come from? I guess it's ok if people know they are doing it, but if they think it's correct, [B]then[/B] god help the Australian teaching system!!!


ps, the way people say the letter 'H' is funny, I've adopted that...

pps, I hate it when people say "anyways" rather [B]than[/B] "anyway"

\rant

Am I alone here? Should I just shut up and accept it? The sun goes around the earth you know.... :eusa_doh:

yes accept it :)

People are lazy.. and change things to suit their lazy lifestyle..

Accept and move on

Grammar nazi's unite!

I personally hate all this sms speak. But I guess that would make me old...

Oh well.

i couldn't help it

My favorite is "Yeah, Nah"

It translates to "Yes I understand, but I also disagree"

You're not alone.

I don't like when people use the wrong 'their/there/they're' or, 'your/you're.'

Oh well. Do as you please. :)

It is called an accent.

Shutup.

Nice 'O' by the way. Is that australian english?
