I can forgive maths teachers for saying hache, but I can't forgive English teachers for saying HACHE.
How is it easier to say? I struggle.

ITS AITCH DAMMIT!!! People who can't even speak their sole language correctly are nothing but brainless fucktardsmalkin86 said:I've heard that most of the mob on the First Fleet came from London-way, and so we say haitch, and most of the mob on the Mayflower (American First Fleet) came from northern England, and they say aitch. (and zee... zed, people, zed!)
What is the correct form, though? Why should it be a higher form of American, Australian or British english over a more everyday form? Languages aren't static and are hardly uniform.supercharged said:ITS AITCH DAMMIT!!! People who can't even speak their sole language correctly are nothing but brainless fucktards

Hypocrisy is not a counter-argumentXayma said:MoonlightSonata can you clarify for me if the Oxford English Dictionary recognises ITS and DAMMIT also if it recognises the repetitive use of "!"? I believe it also recognises periods
I stand by my OED, to the death I say!Xayma said:If we really want to get into it, it is pronunced as the French hache. It is a similar way to lieutenant is mispronunced widely as the Americanised loo-ten-ant as opposed to the French (lieutenant being a French word) left-ten-ant, which is the way the Australian Defence Force and most other English speaking countries pronunce it.
Can you please stop making shitty threads.cerebrum said:Does anyone think that the typical aussies ruin AUST? Those that quote "G'day" and sit around with there pathetic getups. It just reveals Australians to be iliterate.
So you are essentially saying that you experience a culture cringe at the kath and kim-ness of australia? How is it just not right?cerebrum said:Some australians just say really informal things. "oi, oi oi, aussie, aussie aussie", its just not right. Although we don't need to be formal people, but we don't want to be potrayed like that.
The pommies love Neighbourscerebrum said:Kath and Kim? How many Australian made movies or series are popular in other countries. American movies and eries are very popular in Australia. The graphics and plot is excellent also.
That doesn't make sensecerebrum said:The stereotypical aussies are just a shame to our nation.
i just don't agree to most of the slang term.
They also love Kath and Kim, according to recent reports.Xayma said:The pommies love Neighbours
:uhhuh:
It isn't that simple given that US shows and movies flood our market like there's no tomorrow. The 'better' movies and shows may be popular, and a number are quite clever and worthy of praise, but at the same time there are many that are clearly not up to scratch yet they continue to be shown given that they are 'dumped' here in Australia after a mediocre run on a US cable network. Don't build the US industry into something that it isn't.cerebrum said:Kath and Kim? How many Australian made movies or series are popular in other countries.

Why should we be ashamed of the 'stereotypical' australian (suburban, laid back, hard-working and wanting a fair go for all)? Why the cultural cringe?cerebrum said:The stereotypical aussies are just a shame to our nation.

I don't like Kath and Kim either, don't find it funny at allNot-That-Bright said:I hate kath and kim... i don't think it's funny at all, maybe I can't get the jokes cuz I'm the kinda person they're mocking
There have been many popular Australian tv series (and in the past movies), we have some surprisingly good local talent... but at the moment our movies are a little teh lame.
