Georgia and Dangling Participles

Boy, the Klan has moved on, hasn't it?

The major difference between Zild and Strine, and one that appears to be obvious only to Aunty Podeans and her offspring, is the Zild swallowing of vowels that the Striners actually lengthen. So when in the Land of Oz, I and most of my country-things stand out simply because of the way we pronounce some names. The two that spring to mind are Brisbane - which Zild has as "br's-bin" and Strine has as "breez-bayne" (a little exaggerated in both casses) and Sydney, which Zild pronounces "S'd-ny" and Strine has as "Seed-knee" - again, exaggerated a bit.

For all that we understand each other except when it comes to Aboriginal and Maori place names.
