the english language is a very broad and strange language with so many good things and bad things.
I would hate to tell you who actually has the best pronunciation of the words

The Indians, the ones who live on the subcontinent!

The best things about the English language are the way it's grammar and syntax lend to so many nuances. The language of the poets, the language of discovery but never the abomination of txts.

No, we're suggesting that you should use the English language the way you should have learned it at school.

We may also be suggesting, that under current schools funding, you did not benefit from good quality teachers, so the fault rests mainly on the shoulders of NSW Education Department

I remember the first ever game I saw televised from Australia. It showed 1/24 or something like that, and I remember thinking "how many batsmen do the Aussies need?"

Note, that it is only Australia in the whole cricketing world that record the scoring in this manner.
