Nup.

Did I mention lappy, preggas, uey, avanavo, schnitty and povo?

Beery shortened my user name to cuppa yest'dy.

I knew pretty much all of those but I'd never seen them written, only spoken.

How about Chillax or Fo Shizzle Mo Nizzle?

Related: My wife is Japanese. While they have a formal languange as my wife calls it, her bothter and her can have a conversation that their parents can't understand as they have a younger generation language. Then different areas have different languages just like different tribs of Aboriginals in Austalia. To say "thank you" to people in the area of my wifes home, I say "Orkiny" but travel 100km away and people just look at you funny as if I had used english.

And here's an even harder one. My wife being Japanese, has Japanese friends. Most of which are married to Aussie partners and most have kids, as we do.

As the Kids speak both English and Japanese, they tend to use a crazy combo in their conversation. For most people that learn a second language later in life, they tend to hear what is spoken, convert it to their first language and then understand what is said. While most of the time that happens pretty quick and a person will hardly know that's what their brain has done. The kids however that learn both languages from the start, don't need to do the conversion, they just understand it. The end result is they talk to each other using words and cobinations of both languages. The problem is that a person with English as their primary language will pick the odd word but it won't make sense without the inbetweens and the same is happening for the person with Japanese as their primary language. The opposite language words are being thrown in so fast and in such a combination that even if you have one of the languages as your primary language and understand the other, you will have no idea what thes kids with both languages as their primary language are saying.

Happy Days
