    I guess it was franchised and they wanted something Aussie. Plus, we use our meat in the burgers which is the best in the world

    Don't you call McDonald's Micky Dees or something. I guess it's the divide. You say potato and we, well, do as well but you get the drift

    Mickey Dees(never actually spelled it out before) is just short for McDonalds.

    I know that's the short name. You know, i do a bit about your country although kilometres away :p I used to bet on the Packers to win the bowl every year coz they were my fave. I loved the Bulls in the 90's, the Lakers before that.


    We say potato like you but we say tomato as in "tom art oe" Don't ask me why.

    "mulk"? Kiwis don't use a phonetic el in their "milk", it's closer to "muwk" or something.

    Yeah, Kiwi bastardisation of commonwealth English rocks. So fuck off world!

    I see we're back to how much Vegemite sucks noodle. Good. It does.

    I'm a Scrabble player and an English Major. I use typing-setting measurements like em, el, and en. They're less retarded to punctuate than "m", "l", and "n".

    i just dont understand how one letter can be comprised of many letter. Why does the "ed" part of Zed just magically disappears when you used/pronounced in words. (e)New Ze(d)ea(e)la(e)nd?!? It just seems to be there to fuckup the abc song

    too complicated for this yank :p
