...Since when has being rude been an issue Kris. :-P<br /><br />That's the problem when us foreigners try to write something about another country, unless you've pretty much lived there you really need to have someone local do a check because we almost always get it wrong. Maybe you need to start pimping out your services as official Aussie fact checker. I really liked that story too.Tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15495571402942021799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005569873582910532.post-46122318471380459052009-12-14T16:44:31.149-05:002009-12-14T16:44:31.149-05:00I missed the air into his legs too.

One of the best in the batch to date. My main niggle is that an Aussie could have helped with the spellings of some of the colloquialism; one in particular was incorrect.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18281267776361355788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005569873582910532.post-52136351507216394052009-12-13T22:20:26.865-05:002009-12-13T22:20:26.865-05:00Hee hee - that sounds like an evil accepting the s...Hee hee - that sounds like an evil accepting the spellcheck suggestion without looking at it error. Back in my TA days, came across a student who'd accepted Word's suggestion of "woodlands" instead of "wetlands" universally throughout his paper. Um, my, that changed the meaning of his whole wetlands paper significantly. (Non-linear, tangential thinker here. In case you hadn't figured that out.)Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12959009113795804133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005569873582910532.post-45485925786822577182009-12-13T22:01:02.286-05:002009-12-13T22:01:02.286-05:00Val: Yeah, it's not always a good thing, the f...Val: Yeah, it's not always a good thing, the fast reading, means I go through books really fast.
