I can live with that, but they've got to show proof of Australian citizenship. And if they've lived outside Oz for more than a year, local laws should apply.

Got anything to curb the urge to commit "suicide by forum"?

Dude, you all are some tough customers! I literally wouldn't survive a second with a few of you.

I agree with Sweetpea, here:

On another note, the "aks" being used in place of "ask" is a relic of Old English. While "ask" became the more widely accepted variation, "aks" is still valid.

Where can an Aussie-to-English Dictionary be found?

I think I need one.

Wait.

I know what a telly is.

Ahhh . . . my first step to becoming bilingual.

(So what if it's a baby step?)

I also dislike the way that "refute" is sometimes used inaccurately.

Quite often, I turn on the radio news and some corrupt politician, banker or suchlike is being interviewed. On being confronted by an allegation of misconduct, he indignantly says, "I utterly refute that!"
No you don't. A refutation requires evidence, preferably laid out in the form of a valid argument.
