[QUOTE="Occams Barber, post: 76030067, member: 313365"] Australian TV announcers usually have less pronounced accents but it's not that noticeable. The big difference between Oz English and US English is the time factor. US English has had two centuries more to develop. English has only been in Australia since 1788. As a result there's more dialect variation in the US. The differences in population size and spread also makes a difference. 'Day/die' is a normal part of the Australian accent. In some people it's more obvious than others. Basically most Australians speak with a similar accent - what varies is the strength of the accent. OB [/QUOTE]
