Heh, Billabong. When I was in 6th grade, each class got to be a continent and put on a very long presentation about it. We were Australia and we had to sing Waltzing Matilda and some other song about cockles and mussels.

I want to see a situation where three guys are in a bar. Those three guys are a full blown redneck, a full blown country-side brit, and a full blown outback aussie attempting to start a conversation on the proper way to fix a car, then they give up, and must decide who pays the tab. After they go outside, they find out their ride is broken, so they have to fix it while trying to make some food on a makeshift grill that they have to make so they can survive the night if it comes to that.

oh, and they're in the middle of gator-infested area of the everglades, that just happen to have a lot of people strolling around too. Each guy is also stereotypically loaded w/ their own culturally-depended equipment. What happens?

Are they going to integrate this into Google's Language Tools? Then I can just copy and paste entire blocks of text instead of consulting this dictionary all the time.

hehe, i know what the OP was getting at. I felt that it was a slightly comedic thread, so I wanted to just set up a fictional situation that may lead to comedy. What he posted inspired me to think of such a situation, since it may make for OK entertainment. Based off your response, I failed insanely miserably, and it seems that my comment will lead to flame wars .
