I wonder ???

Shorty, you have always had a way with words. Now if you would just learn to speak English.

Hey !!! Fair suck of the save cobber.

Now although Lief Ericsson landed on what is now Newfoundland in the year 1000 AD, it wasn’t until Christopher Colombus landed in the Caribbean in 1492 that the Americas was “discovered”.

Then you blokes started playing up and started:

THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION

Sometimes referred to as the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783), or the American War of Independence

The first shots of what would become the war for American independence were fired in April 1775

It was after this that you blokes started talking Yankee & other funny talk, ‘n drinkin’ rum ‘n coffee instead of tea every 4th of July.


Now, down under, the Poms never found us until Jimmy Cook, (bless his cotton pickin’ little heart) stepped foot on the sand at Botany Bay in April of 1770.

Crikey, didn’t he make a mess off his first statement when he “conquered” Van Diemans Land, or Terra Australis.

So yews blokes had 300 odd years to start talking your lingo before we was even named, just about.

We still haven’t kicked the Pom’s out, but we do have our own lingo that they can’t understand either.

‘n if it makes yews feels any better, many times I doesn’t unnerstand a word of what some of yews sez either.

Sorry old chap, what was the question again??
