        No thank you, I'm trying to give them up. Have a picture of Queen Victoria.
        Turns out, far too much has been written about great men and not nearly enough about morons

          Perhaps that's cause the first and last letters haven't remained the same

              Okay, minor rant here.
              The standard of spelling and English here isn't terrible, but at times it is rather poor.
              As mentioned above, there's the usual crop of boo-boo's, such as here/hear, brake/break, wrecker/wreaker, lose/loose, your/you're, but the other ones that shit me are the Americanisms creeping in.
              Litre/liter is one, metre/meter, extractors/headers, gearbox/transmission, tyres/tires, colour/color, problems/issues, maths/math are others. My pet hate is arse/ass.
              Every time you choose to use an Americanism, our own Aussie English dies a little - You're a sell-out.
              I'm an Aussie and very proud of it, I speak Aussie English and will not let my standards slip to that of a sub-dialect.

                  Litre/liter is one, metre/meter
                  Which one is Aussie? I use liter and meter. Is this correct?

                    No.
                    Our modern English has a lot of French influence, hence the French spelling of those words - litre and metre.
                    The US spelling is influenced by Sesame Street.

                        Another sub-standard use of grammar is found in apostrophes. They are heavily misused in all English based langauges these days. A common misuse is CD's, which should be CDs. Plurals do not have apostrophes. CD is recognised as a word in modern language so a plural s is applied directly to it.
                        Another tricky one is 'its' as in 'its engine'. Although possession is usually shown with an apostrophe, in this case it is not..
                        Quite a few people I meet are not too far out of university/higher education, yet cannot use an apostrophe properly!

                          I believe its and it's are both interchangeable these days.
                          At least I use them interchangably :D

                            'Then' and 'than' always confuse me, so I just use them alternately.

                                A Sunbudgie IS a Torana once you drop a 308 and a 9" in it, but I left the badges and stocko 13" wheels on just in case.
