Alot of truth...

I don't mind that the Americans spell words differently and have even got used to spelling the American way because Microsoft Word will tell you that the Canadian spelling is wrong! What I don't like about American English is the way some Americans (Depending on where they live in the states) pronounce "O"s and "A"s.

Words that really irritate me: " BAAston" , "HAAckey", "PAAss"

not all aussies are like that
whats inclement weather?

[graywolf624]

"not all aussies are like that "
And you think all Americans are?

It's a generalization. Even more its a generalization of what other countries think of people, not a generalization about the people themselves.
