Hi folks, many unrelated topics. a little australasian flavoured.
plurals: when talking of two ot more instances of the same object. fruits fats sheeps heard here many times. money: fwiw..... I dislike US green dollars.....they are all the same non-green colour....they are all the same size.....the are all a strange oblong shape....and they all feel the same.....and they are paper.. I am very familiar with notes of differing denominations that are: o. different colours o. different sizes....larger denominations have larger size o. plastic....so they dont disintegrate in the wash....but the first examples did have the colour wash off, but they fixed that. atm: "at the moment" :-) the machines here do give out and receive notes, but they also do many other transactions:- o. pay your bills o. transfer money to your other accounts including credit cards o. buy and sell stock o. transfer money to somebody else account, even if it is a different bank. o. and for the old fashioned, they will even print entries in a bankbook. and this is all possible because of the unseen mainframe computer systems...
