You crazy New Zealanders. Oh, wait, I'm one-quarter New Zealander. Oops.

Well, in any case, I was taught US English, and that is always what I'll use.

I wonder if we'll ever see someone using true Australian English here?

Im Aussie!

Australian English is the same as UK English.

Its a bit hard dontcha know, I mean what the computer is missing is the eyebrows! And eyebrows are needed for full joke potential.

I should've used quotes, and I shouldn't have made a joke involving aussies.

Really? The english ect. use apostrophes for plural? Hm. That doesn't really make much sense, but what the hell.

edit:

Jee, thanks renegade. You made my post one letter better.

Either way, I don't.

I'm english (No popycock jokes please) I've only learned UK english and I only use apostrophies (SP? I didn't check) if a letter is missing (E.G I am -I'm) not for plurals.

P.S I'm serious about no popycock jokes
P.P.S No really don't make jokes
P.P.P.S And no classical music either!
P.P.P.P.S AND NO TEA JOKES!!
P.P.P.P.P.S Ahh what does it matter you'll do it anyway..

It's "apostrophes" and "etc.", for those of you having difficulty.

ULTIMATE THREAD NECROMANCY.
Blame BWS.

Sometimes for plurals there are letters missing. For example, in VCR (which is an acronym), "ecorder" is not there, so you'd have to put an apostrophe in between the "R" and the "s" to indicate the absence of the other letters.

I said I ONLY- Not I always do.

Damnit I hate myself as a newb.
