So, 0800 Pacific Time, the phone rings. It's Melbourne, Australia (which is what, 0200 or 0300 local?) with an ignition problem and question.
Geez.
Didn't know I was THAT well known, eh?

Perhaps it's due to your muliti culturalizism. Looks like not only you speak Austrailian, but Canadian as well. :jester:
 
JP-
Please offer some translation for us :smile:
 
I refuse to speak Welsh (or Wenglish), and Swahili is dead out.
G'day, mate.
Blimey.

No worries, all y'all know I'm bilingual eh.
 
Someone who speaks three languages is called trilingual.
Someone who speaks two languages is call bilingual.

Someone who speaks only one language is call American.
 
And a woman that speaks no languages is called a blessing, nolingual! :devilgrin:

Only joking of course ladies. :angel:
 
There's a lot to be said fer that, Bill.

When I was knockin' around S.E. Asia long ago one occasion found me sitting with a few of the natives enjoying some noodle soup and attempting to converse, they in their pidgin-engrish, me in my pidgin-thai. One of them says: "You are not American." Huh? why do you say that? "You don't act American. You maybe Canadian, but not American."

Not proud that I'm monolingual but well aware of The Ugly American perception.
Lately feelin' like a ferriner 'round HERE, fercryinoutloud. :shocked:
 
'corse, we could get up on the RUF and put in new EAVES TROUGHS, but only after we'd swigged our way through at least a dozen Molson's.
Eh?
