A very nicely written tribute to your noble Syncro. I do hope it gets the home it deserves, and that you enjoy that shiny new luxury liner I spotted out the front of your house the other day.
Best,
Francesca.

Phill,
With all respect, ‘Australian’ English is Microsoft’s idea of Skippy-speak, which in turn is based on ‘US’ English, which is itself a bastardization of the original language, which in turn is based on taking control of the language by stealth. (Come to think about it, the US is very good at that in many different fields!!! Except that, in most cases, they don’t bother with the ‘stealth’ part of it!)
Yes, there are such things as ‘Australian’ dictionaries whose principal benefit is including and defining words that are indigenous to this place and this culture. Most languages tend to decay due to populist usage, to the eventual detriment of the core language.
Until something more precise comes along, I will stick with the original language.
