Okes would be guys. Some others (some might be ZA specific) Pavement = Sidewalk, Robot = Traffic Light, Petrol = Gas, Hockey = Field Hockey as opposed to Ice Hockey, Football = Soccer, Jam = Jelly.

Something I am going to use in my next campaign actually is to have regional variances in common like this.

Okes is then presumably short for "blokes"?

Most of those others are Britishisms, except for Robot. I'm not quite sure why South Africa speaks British English, I guess they probably picked it up from NZ and AU.

All this talk of exercise is reminding me of my pains, I used to be able to do 24 push ups (not a lot I know) but the other day I managed 10 and am aching all over my shoulders. I think I may have to start doing exercises again, I wonder how steep the line on the wii fit will be when I get back on it, it shouldn't be too steep as I've not used it for 4 months, probably put on about 8lbs.

Because Britain ruled quite a large chunk of the world? Watch out, we may do it again some time

Much of it is to do with our history, we were a British colony up till 1910, A Dominion (semi independanct state) until 1931, and a Commonwealth Realm (independant state that recognises the British monarch) until the decleration on independance in 1961. Which would explain why we tend to use the British style of English.

Not bloody likely.

Huh?!?

I could have sworn that South Africa was a Dutch colony. Am I losing my mind? *Runs off to check Wikipedia*

This okcupid is quite cool, having 4 very different conversations with 4 very different people, quite cool and I can tell the match thing is quite good cause the highest and second highest are the two I like the most

Apparently yes, yes I am. Plenty of Dutch settlers, never run by the Dutch, except for Capetown. Hmmph. Goes to show what I know.

*looks down*

Ooops, my ignorance is showing.
