BWAHAHAHAHA~! That was awesome!  :Thmbsup:

My neighbour is a kiwi. I forget whether it was her or someone else pointing out the pronunciation of 'e' is often like 'i' in New Zealand.

Every now and then I learn a new word, and those with me get a kick out of me not knowing some terminology/slang.

Accents around here are pretty wild though. There's an extreme diversity.

Here's a list of some friends and neighbours by ethnicity and accent (there are some interesting mixes).

Egyptian - Victorian Australian accent
Egyptian - Arabic English accent with some Victorian Australian smoothing
Irish - Irish accent
Indian - Victorian Australian accent (no Indian accent)
Canadian - Canadian accent
Australian - Queensland accent
Vietnamese - British RP mixed with Victorian Australian accent (and she's North Vietnamese, not south)
Vietnamese - North Vietnamese English accent largely smoothed by Victorian Australian English
Sudanese - Thick accent with Victorian Australian accent smoothings
Croatian - Heavy Australian accent (that I can't make out the location - seems Queenslandish, but he's never lived there) with Croatian tones
Swedish - Heavy Swedish English accent with very little Australian English smoothing (he's 80ish and has lived here for 50+ years)

Anyways, just one of those things of casual interest.

I should go out on my deck for a fag now. ;) :P

I'd never seen this before. At first I thought it was a parody, but no, it's the real deal.

It was in the second wave of Schoolhouse Rock vids... and they were quickly cancelled.  You'd think that we've become unable to hear the truth in a children's cartoon or something...

Sadly, that seems to be truth  :Wizard:.  On the other hand, it's easy to laugh at such  :eusa_boohoo:

Normally it's the other way round, (for me anyway), quickest way to identify a Kiwi is get them to say the Number of the Beast  ;)

Works every time, even in the back blocks of Nevada ...

American English Canadians don't seem to have accents but when they say 'out' it sounds more like oot... as in hoot or reboot.   :)
