What did you watch as a kid?

[Farseer]

I talk proper like

If you've ever seen 'Coronation Street' then that would be the closest to my accent on British TV.

For you, 'thul beings, though I'm not sure if it's a good example or not. I just enjoyed the fact that they brought up cricket - I was obsessed by it when I was growing up!

Thanks Farseer!

Anytime...unless it's a bunch of we Aussies wanting to band together against you, Ashes-like. I'd not be able to withstand such a pull of the natural order of things. In all else, my sword is yours.

Interesting that you mention the stressing of complex grammar etc, 'thul. I was chatting with a teacher from New Zealand the other day (she is over here in Australia for a few months to see how we do things in our education system) and she complained quite passionately about just how much importance we place on grammar within our curriculum. She just couldn't understand it, and just couldn't see its function. Not only that, she then informed me that grammar had been thrown out of the NZ curriculum many, many years ago!

The 'thul beings speaking Texan English...now I'd like to hear that!! That's made me think of Walker, Texas Ranger, a TV show that came out when I was a young adult...but I did watch plenty of other Chuck Norris things when I was growing up.
