Warm if you come from Canada perhaps! It was five degrees here this morning, and I'm not even in the most southerly city of the nation. |
Yeah, it got down to 10 up here last night. Bloody freezing :p |

I live in Canada and half the town I live in is Aussie, so it seems they all know this place is better.
What I don't get about Aussie's is how they have the letter "R" completely Backwards.
If a word ends in "R" they'll ignore it, for example:
Instead of saying jumper, they'll say jumpa. Or even when an "R" is in the middle of a word, the Aussies call the girl named Carly I work with Colly.
But then if a word ends in "A" they add an "R" to it, for example:
Instead of saying pizza and spatula, they'll say Pizzer and Spatuler. |

Actually this is a very British English thing to do and they only do that when the word is followed by a vowel sound. I think. |

You're right about the 'jumpa' thing though :p |

Welcome to the English language. Only Americans and Canadians emphasize every single "R". To the English (the one's who invented the bloody language in the first place) and Aussies in words like "Carly", "Sharp", "part", "porter" etc the "r" just lengthens the preceding vowel.
The other prob with American/Canadian accents is you don't pronounce your "o"s properly - you make an "ah" sound instead. So "shopping" sounds more like shAH-ping or "sharping". And the way you would pronounce Collie, sounds more like CAH-lee or Carly to the rest of us. you literally don't have an "o" sound. if you were to sound out the vowels "a, e, i, o, u" the "a" would be nearly identical to the "o".

I've heard it plenty of times from Brits. Like I said, it's usually when a word ending with a vowel is followed by a word starting with a vowel. |
