I'm watching the progress. It's a difficult localism to describe, but you're getting there ;) -- Longhair 06:28, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Australian English
I guess my obvious answer would be to profess an engrained suspicion of anonymous editors inserting obscenities. I apologise for treating your edit as vandalism. Upon further review of you edits to Wikipedia, I see that you were trying to document a perceived peculiar Australian usage of the the word. I don't necessary think this argument is valid, but it's not easily discounted. Perhaps you could leave a comment at Talk:Australian English explaining your edits. Thanks, --cj | talk 06:50, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
- Oh, and American English is not standard for Wikipedia in the slightest. See our guidelines on the use of national varieties in the Manual of Style.--cj | talk 06:54, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

- Hi your second wording has merit, I originally removed the first as it appeared as vandalism at its worse. I have however moved the piece to the Talk page of the article and opened it up to discussion prior to its insertion in the main article. Please participate in the discussion suggest you strengthen your assertions by substanciating what protion, also include examples of non offensive usage Gnangarra 07:46, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
