I think a lot of this stuff is neither correct nor incorrect, it's just dialect.

I had a fucking bizarre moment in a supermarket once. I was looking at my shopping list and talking to myself. I'd written down "zucchini" because that's what I wanted, in the language I grew up speaking.

Some women overheard me talking to myself and told me to fuck off out of the country destroying it with my Americanisms.

There are a whole ton of American ways of spelling and pronouncing English words that are (in my opinion) better than ours.

I believe they also have far better words for some things and I wonder if that is because it’s a ‘newer’ language. I know it started as English from English (and other European) settlers, but it seems as though they used the opportunity to embrace a new perspective.

I had many a conversation with a friend who was American for over 20 years making fun over how the changed our words .usually in jest and in superior tone based on the fact we are the older country .

I remember one time I look up a word sadly I can't remember which

it was. But it turned out they were

using the original word and it was

us that had changed us that had changed it here . but Its fun to jest

back and forth . and ofcourse we

Of course, despite moaning about American spellings and pronunciations, I come from South Africa, where our English uses expressions that are another hybrid again. Plus we have Afrikaans, Zulu, Sotho, Tswana and other words in it as well.

Ja, so, I was driving down the freeway, and the traffic was backed up at the robots by the traffic circle because some ou had run his bakkie off into a donga. It was kak because there were so many cars trying to get to the local soccer. Anyway, it made me late for my stukkie's birthday braai. Yissis, man!

Cheer. It was renamed from a cheese maker's name in 2021. Obviously things mean different things in different dialects, and a lot of names have been changed in Australia to reflect our more global world and show sensitivity to diverse groups.

If a comedian, last week, is still trying to make hay, shocking people over things that have been fixed, I'd agree, that is horrendous

"Chips in USA are called fries, and chips in USA is the term used to describe what British call crisps.

Cheer. It was renamed from a cheese maker's name in 2021. Obviously things mean different things in different dialects, and a lot of names have been changed in Australia to reflect our more global world and show sensitivity to diverse groups.

If a comedian, last week, is still trying to make hay, shocking people over things that have been fixed, I'd agree, that is horrendous "

He agreed it needed changing. He just made a point about language changing over time. What he was upset about was his favourite childhood ice cream treat being lobbied for a name change xxx

Language does indeed involve over time. One of my favourite sweets, Redskins, also changed its name, because of social pressure.

I'm not sure what this has to do with dialect? It's an issue, but it's a separate one.

Just think Aussies aren't as PC about language. There's a brand of cider made by Dickens and the adverts are hilarious but so unPC. A guy advertising the drink to females if, ' She'd like a Dickens Cider'!!! It's puerile but funny and wouldn't be allowed here x

There's a subset of Australians who get off on irreverence, but outside of some specific circumstances, most people are pretty respectful of difference. Those who aren't are like bigots everywhere and can be discarded as irrelevant and attention seeking.

Yes. In British or Australian English "fanny" means vagina. (Less common in Australia) So "fanny pack" sounds like a vagina pocket.

The American "fanny pack" is called a "bum bag" in Australia and the UK.

If an American said "bum bag", it might mean "a bag carried by a homeless person"

In the famous Australian song "Waltzing Matilda", a homeless traveller (a "swag man") carries a "swag" around with him. So American "bum bag" would be "swag" in archaic Australian English.

Swag in my English would be some kind of contraband, like money nicked from a bank or something else valuable like that. Not just ordinary possessions.

Until you started having a go at Brits I would have agreed with you. I've been shouted at for saying "zucchini" because apparently people are weird about the name of vegetables.

There are much more potentially offensive Australianisms but... zucchini. Whatever

Courgette "

I know. But my shopping list isn't worth some lunatic shouting at me in fucking Tesco

I didn't call them "I want to do unspeakable things to the Queen" (I don't/didn't, for the record). I called them the Italian version of the vegetable

How so ? We all have wants and needs. Mine is different from yours but my life should be dictated according to your outlook . I say no . You can't fathom mine just like I can't fathom yours. Yet everyone complains because a social cony says so. Fuck it I do not care wtf your political party is your sexual preferences or your religion. If you treat me with respect . Well you are always welcomed into my home and inner circle. So I ask am i wrong?
