About time someone took on that task. More power to you.
Some suggestions -
Tell the Seppo's to stop turning nouns into verbs PLEASE!
'Gotten' vanished from real English in Elizabethan times.
There's no such thing as an English accent - that's how it's supposed to sound!
You don't need subtitles - JUST MAKE A BLOODY EFFORT!
No-one could understand Brad Pitt in 'Snatch', OK?!
If e.e cummings could use 'arse', why can't you?
Macdonalds is cultural terrorism.
Oh, and Diesel was a person - the engines will run on cooking oil if
tuned properly.
Good grief.
That should do it for now - can think of others but I'm in too good a
mood to mention them.
You do realize that until i can get you guys to speak english, i'm stuck
here and can't go home, and at the same time you're stuck with me... they
send us out as missionaries to the more linguistically challenged countries,
and won't let us back home until we succeed... i ended up being rotated out
to san fran... ;)
Of course, since the brits never do their own dirty work, we colonials have
to do it for them... ;)

I've heard that kerosene in the USA mystically becomes paraffin on the
voyage to the UK.
Why can't the British learn to speak a common language? :)
