I wasn't aware "I reckon." was Australian. As far as I know - since I use it all the time too - it's just something that was used a couple of decades ago and Antipodeans just never really let it go.

Anyone who saw my tGA post with the Australian dragons should know how I feel on this issue.

Every sentence would be a question, thanks to that damned Australian Question Intonation.

Gives me your clothes, your boots, and your motorcyle?
Come with me if you want to live?

Or imagine romantic films.

I'm sorry I ever left you?
I really mean it, I love you?
Lets never be apart?

what if all actors were kangeroos and they kicked everyone in the head O__o

xDThen Jurrasic Park would be even worse!

Yes, I realize that it would kill them instantly. I couldn’t think of a better example (nice info though)

Anyway, they actually do dub some America commercials over here into Australian; I guess people think it makes them more ‘accessible’ to the audience.

And yes, it sucks.

eh... I guess that could be an "Aussie", but only very loosely.

"That's a lovely accent there...New Jersey?"
"It's Austrian."
"Austria! Well, then. G'day mate! Let's put another shrimp on the barbie!"

Hahaha I love that quote.

Even more so since I have a Jersey accent. :p

Lol Braveheart in Australian ...:)

William Wallace : Look Hamish , see how the cowardly English flee the field!!!
Hamish : Bonzer !

Personally though I think it's absurd that anyone would dub over standard English with respective accents , for the sake of authenticity ( ie. 14th century Scotland in this case)
