I got this spam message in my inbox - i usually just automatically delete them but I started reading this one and noticed the sort of 'Engrish' it used! Translated from what language i have no idea - but based on other similar spam e-mails, a European country.

That's twice now Jason - it's spelt "Australian".

Me thinks you have spent too much time with Tarellians/Terellian/Terallians. [Smile]

Obviously, he was talking about Australlia, the former colony of Brittain.

Yes I was referring to then former colony- I just did not think spelling would be an issue with a culture that uses words like "crikey". [Wink]

well that's a culture of one. I don't think i've ever heard ANYONE use the word 'crikey' in every day speech. I mean no one speaks like Steve Irwin!

"*cough*Brittain/Brattain*cough*"

What? Ugh. Does everything have to be explained in excruciating detail around here?

He spelled "Australia" with a doubled 'L'. I then sardonically suggested that the resulting 'Australlia" must have been a colony of "Brittain". This is because Australia was once a colony of Britain, and some people here have been known to repeatedly misspell it "Brittain", which is similar to "Australlia" in that it has an unnecessarily doubled consonant.

I need to stop even trying...
