    Australian here, I’m happy for America to call pickup trucks “trucks”. They’re closer to a light commercial vehicle than they are to a ute.

    Aside from all that, EN.US is their language. They can use it how they like. It’s just a shame their culture is so dominant that it can’t leave EN.AU alone

      Thank You, if only you were real and not a figment of our imagination.

        For them, Australia is a real place full of strange wildlife and where people use “Australian accents”.

        They believe barbie dolls are fairies with valuable information. Their interrogation methods for these dolls are horrific, and I’m just glad they have no full-sized equivalent for real humans.

        It’s okay. If someone wants to live “down under” it’s best just to let them.
