You might aswell call it a click. It's precisely the same action. I even see instructions on how to fix things say "tap or click", like phone users are too stupid to know that click can be done with your finger.

They both sound stupid. But as an Aussie you're more used to excessive shortening of everything, like "arvo" would never be acceptable in the UK.

I prefer them to do that, what I hate is people parking on the road and not bothering to own a drive.

And we don't say "parkway" in the UK. It's a road.

Senile Rodent: "The problem isnt the hairy legs, it's the gross inbreeding

Birdbrain: "So why did you mention hairy legs?"

Senile Rodent: "Because that's what those who arent actually stupid enough
to shave their legs have."

Birdbrain: "You only have hairy legs if both of the following are true:
1) You're quite far back on the evolutionary scale.
2) You haven't learned what a razor is for."

In the US a parkway is a road usually in the mountains that is designed
for the people to enjoy looking at the mountains and what they can see.
Not really ment for peopel to get anywhere very fast. Often restricted

Yes, people should get that right.

Also. i.e. instead of e.g. People get that wrong more than half of the

English even if they do understand Latin. It looks like an affectation,
