That is brilliant. I am switching to en-CA now.



Australian English is excellent too, because they use classy spellings too (I qualify as classy the English I’ve learnt at school in France, please no hard feelings ;) ) and metric system.


Tried that when I lived there.

Kept changing things to "sammo" and "arvo", and "beer" to "VB". /s

True story: the Aussie courts have ruled that "cunt" isn't a curse / vulgar word; e.g. he's a good- / shit-cunt is not offensive with regards to public officials. https://nswcourts.com.au/articles/court-rules-its-ok-to-refe...


As an Australian I will often use en-GB due to decades of Microsoft trying to force American spelling on us.


is there a subset or option for bogans?
