So what is the view or slant on your speech? - do you think that others around the world see a caricature of an aussie? - read my thread about the custom kutters from queensland i met at the local bar last night. guy looked just like one of the local farmers/rednecks, was his accent that gave it away.

If your responses here are screwing up your speech, change the thrust of it to how an online community containing aussies sees them versus the great unwashed masses not online.
Here you will get a skewed response to your survey due to the fact that what we see of your countrymen is thier thoughts and reactions to topics and in the flow of onversations online. They think like us(mostly) write like us(mostly) use the english language like us(mostly) Why should you be suprised, then, when we think they look like us also(mostly)? - 'specially since they do, [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

speaking of speech, if you give me some particulars, I may be able to help a bit, used to teach intro to public speaking at one of our state universities.
good luck [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

EDIT; we posted at the same time, I see your response now
