In my Atlantis, I was delighted to see that it defaults to NZ English, but I'm stuck using the Aussie dictionary - who knew there was such a thing? ;)

What is the difference of Kiwi and Aussie English?
NZ English has tended to stick more cosely to British spelling as Australian has moved toward US. There are also many usage differences. I just learned yesterday that what we call a light bulb in Zild,  is likely to be called a globe in Strine. Then there's the whole thong/jandal thing, and that doesn't even touch on the Seednee/Sudney debate. And, NZ ENglish now includes an ever-increasing number of Maori words used  (for obvious reasons) nowhere else.  :D

Hi there,<br><br>I also think the dictionaries are probably the best feature.<br><br>I'm thinking that this:  Seednee/Sudney debate   has to do with a place that has a large opera house. On the other hand, I don't even want to get near the    thong/jandal    debate! If that's okay with y'all. :)<br><br>steve
