Well I guess the title says it all, I was just wondering who ya'll thought were the most active 'forumers' in this part of the AG forum. Opinions, that what this Forum is going to be, pure opinions, and yes you can say 'Me'.
G'day mate! I was flippin' sum shrimp on the barbie when a cloud of blowies started buzzin' round my head! I had to run to the dunny, waited a while, and sprinted to the bute. I was goin along when I hit a roo. Poor thing looked a mess so I called my Sheila on the mobile.
footnote: No one talks like this. (except to confuse you).

Hello mate. I was barbecuing shrimp when a cloud of blowflies started buzzing around my head. I had to run to the restroom, waited a while, and sprinted to the ?. I was going along when I hit a kangaroo. Poor thing look like a mess so I called my woman on my cellphone.
@Avorne
TVtropes is awesome.
@Reton
You can assume it sounded less like the American we know today, especially if you find yourself in the area of the original British colonies. However, as soon as those settlers made themselves permanently comfortable the development was already in place.
I believe that the question mark there should be filled in with car.
Anyways, I would have to agree with you there knight. However, I don't think people talk must differently in the area of the country where the British colonies were than anywhere else in the country. Do we?

:O I wouldn't have understood any of those terms if my life depended on it...
I don't think people that live in the original states 13 states talk differently than people who live elsewhere in the united states. hope that clears thing up.
Well, I'd say that you're wrong, there are subtle differences between the way people in different cities (let alone different states) talk and so it's only logical to assume that those differences carry over to different states. Words that mean W in X could mean Y in Z. Also, some words are unique to one state or a group of states - we see this quite prevalently in foods (usually due to different slang names or brand names becoming the catch-word for all foods of that type).
True, not to mentioned accents. Its pretty easy to tell if someone is from the south based on their accent. And as for words, I can't think of any that may be different between cities at this point, I'll have to look it up.
