Yes, thanks for that.
And I am just seeing all the smileys to the right, that I didn't see before. I used the keyboard colon and bracket.
And we could get some nice differences in pronunciation too. Most of the Australians do not speak like Paul Hogan (a movie actor a few decads ago, very famous then as Crocodile Dundee), he overemphasised the "ockker" aspect, I would suggest an accent like Nicole Kidman's is "good" Australian. Actually, there is some English here in Australia, one which is spoken so fast, with word endings clipped, that I cannot understand, now that can't be said to be a good model. However, it just goes to show there are so many variations even within the same country.
