In car speak, I've noticed that blower is not often recognised anymore, it seems to just be supercharger now.

Speaking of American, i got a good lesson on how we sound from an American colleague once. He pointed out that i wasn't saying the letter 'r' and when i disagreed, we did an exercise using the word 'beer'. He was correct, i say 'be-ah' and cant easily force a hard r at the end of the word.

Filum, love it!! I got relations from the South Coast Nsw who say it that way too. You know the Monaro (Mon Air Oh) district

The old man was Armidale then Sydney and then South Coast so guess that's where he watched his filums. Mon-air-oh is supposedly correct. Mon-ar-oh stuck!

What grinds my gears is the covered area behind the house it's a pergola, not a bloody (per-goat-ter). or the garage, not (gar- age).

Per-gol-a vs pur-guh-luh I here this on USA TV shows. I have not heard Per-goat-ter. But maybe a pagoda "puh-goh-duh"

I hadn't noticed, but I will be listening for that now.

I have noticed that with Victorian's with the word "here" they (maybe not all) say "he-ah" where as I'd say "h-ear".
