And lest you feel Steven's observation don't bear much weight, keep in mind that he is speaking as an entire continent. ;-) But, speaking as Antarctica, I must disagree. I don't think the Keepers of the Canon of the English Language(tm) would hold up either your Strine or our Canadian regional accents as examples of Real English Pronunciation(tm). But that's the kind of thing that canon-keepers obsess about, while the rest of us just get along and communicate with one another. (By "us", I mean "us people", not "us continents" -- I stopped speaking as Antarctica a few lines back.) keep-your-stick-on-the-ice'ly yours, Graham -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
