</I>>><i> Another little item I have discovered about various Englishes.
</I>>><i> American English
</I>>><i> has had a significant Irish input. Much of Australia had a lot of
</I>>><i> Irish convicts in
</I>>><i> its early days and its English bears a noticeable Irish influence
</I>>><i> too, though
</I>>><i> nowhere near the extent of North America. South Australia (where I
</I>>><i> am from)
</I>>><i> did not have this and thus South Australian English is more directly
</I>>><i> descended
</I>>><i> from official 19th century English English (so far as such a beast
</I>>><i> can be said
</I>>><i> to exist).
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> Brian.
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> A number of Irish migrated here as a result of the infamous Potato
</I>><i> Famine. Or so I've been told, anyway. My own family has some Irish roots,
</I>><i> and that's why they came here. Also there's some British, Scot, and Dutch
</I>><i> heritage in my genes.
</I>><i>
</I>><i>
</I>Now this is what I love.
How an innocuous discussion about translations and UX turns into a global
history and etymology discussion.
Only in Mageia :)
><i> And apparently, while you Aussies got the Irish convicts, we got the cops.
</I>><i> The Irish beat cop is a cliche in many US cities, especially New York.
