I feel obliged to point out that there's probably only about 50,000 speakers of Strine in Australia out of approx 20 million people, so a lot of those consonants are ending up in landfill somewhere, rather than being conserved in an environmentally-friendly way. Even people such as myself with a fairly broad country accent (city people sound so wussy ;) don't do our part for conservation of consonants :( Tim Delaney -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
