Joe, keep in mind that the Canucks and us down under types all share a common heritage; we thought King George III was OK (within reason), and we also have the same head of state, Queen Elizabeth II ... And we inherently know how to speak English. Tread carefully ;) |

But since they do it leaves the SI to be enjoyed by those who appreciate it the most. The US is soo big they even speak different languages in one place to another |

There are idiomatic phrases, but they are largely understandable. Most of THOSE phrases come from European immigrants - so there's that too. |

| 1271449 | 2012-04-25 03:17:00 | [QUOTE=SurferJoe46. S J, are you on Fahrenheit or Celsius temperature up there.? 27 degrees C seems pretty warm, or have i made another stuff up.! | BobM (1138) | ||
| 1271450 | 2012-04-25 04:01:00 | We do Fahrenheit - but I Googled to get the answer just in case I wuz passing out wrong answers . Today we have actually been in the upper-mid-eighties here . That's not Centigrade . Lessee::: Subtract 32 from degrees Fahrenheit, Multiply by 5, Divide by 9 80º - 32º = 48º 48º x 5 = 240 240 ÷ 9 = 26 . 6666666666666666667ºC Rounded off = 27ºC Today - we were at 30 . 5555555555555556ºC . (That's 87ºF) |
