No problem at all. It's almost as if we are bilingual, with a language we
understand among ourselves, (almost with the makings of a dialect,) which
can prove confusing for others, along with speaking straightforward
English.
(It really is dying out though and I suspect, some of our unique Aussie
character with it.)

So you were taught English and slouched into Aussie, right? Got it.

Mate. I have to tell yer, The lapse was in using the Pommy version of
English instead of Strine.
