Hard not to put an 'E' on the end of stuff......


I was taught the way to tell antipodeans apart was that Kiwi's put 'e'
on the end of everything and 'Strines use 'o'.

i.e. vegies vs vegos, rellies vs rellos.

Have I been lied to?

Sounds like an Aussie/Kiwi indulging in a favourite pastime of
"humouring" a Yank (taking the p... out of?).

If you want to tell them apart, hold up six fingers & ask how many
fingers - on the rare occasions you get a straight answer, if you hear
six its an Aussie, sucks its a Kiwi.
