How very true...
This was something I used to hang behind my desk, on the wall, of course...
We are the willing
Led by the unknowing
Doing the impossible
For the ungrateful
English people who come back from a holliday in Australia, and talk with an Australian accent!
They don't do it when the come back from an Indian holliday!

You have to remember Australian is an easy language to learn, it has the 5 step learning structure:
1) Replace I with E so Shrimp becomes Shremp.
2) End all first names in O so instead of Dave and Robert you have Davo and Robo.
3) Add extra letter A's to words so instead of Dance and Chance you have Daaance and Chaaance.
4) To get the tone correct talk through your nose.
5) When dealing with things other than peoples names end everything in "ie", so for example you were bitten by a mossie in Aussie while throwing another shremp on the barbie the night Davo came over after the daaance.

I'm a bit of a grammar Nazi myself.
Also, some things are general stupidity - a girl once asked me "How do you say Happy Birthday in Europe?" like it was a language...
Ignorance and arrogance, flat-brimmed caps, people who ask if I've ever had tea with The Queen... to which my response usually is "Oh yes, every day me and Her Majesty sit down and have a nice little chat over a cuppa."
I have more... many more... *flips table*.
Actually you have reminded me of my biggest peeve, people that butcher the English language simply because they are too lazy to speak it properly.
An example of what I mean, I was following a mother and her kid through the local supermarket and over heard the mother saying that they only needed "A milk and a chips".
Oh , You mean like when I sent an electonic text based message asking a female freind of mine when an event was starting, and I qoute.
"u needz 2 b there b4 430 or u will miss us kbye."
You and my missus. Me?... I don't even have a mobile phone.Oddly enough no I don't mean like that as texting is limited to what 100 characters therefore abbreviations are a requirement (even though I am probably the last person alive to text in full).
