[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 1921297, member: 150927"] [FONT=Arial]I know what you mean - even (;)) we Kiwis get it too. I had a half Brit half Swedish boss once (don't get me started on that particular combo!), and she told me off for writing bl****, citing it as a swear word. I told her it was not considered a swear word in the Kiwi-Aus part of the world. Just normal speech, which it is for us as you know. That did not go down well. (I HATE being told off for things that I did not do.) It took me ages to understand why she kept apologising for doing Murial impersonations, as in 'Murial's Wedding'! For me, as a Kiwi, I quite rightly thought it had nothing to do with me. I thought she just loved the movie. Only later did I realise she thought she was imitating my accent, quite wrongly. Ah! It's an annoying world all right![/FONT] [/QUOTE]
