ABC News: Language subversion, but why? (Dec 17 2005 23:44 GMT) - Use of Americanisms might seem innocuous, especially as we all do it to a certain extent. However, it's very unfortunate that ABC Radio National News takes it one step further, almost as though some person or persons there has a mission to extend American terms and pronunciations beyond the usual 'guy' and 'hi' which we all use.For example, they have cancelled a great and original Australian term, 'lifesaver' (we were, after all, the originators of beach lifesaving), and replaced it with 'lifeguard' (a la Baywatch). The word 'repeat' they now call 're-peat', with the accent on the first syllable a la Jed Clampett, and 'railway station' is now almost invariably 'train station', like something you would find in the USA (if they had a rail network even remotely as good as Australia's).How can we subvert the subverters? |

Contribute 3, the current version, also is very able at dealing with server-side includes.A person can edit in WYSIWYG mode. If you use Dreamweaver template tags (basically HTML comments) you can mark areas as editable or not, preventing a potential mess. |
