Re: Best feature
In my Atlantis, I was delighted to see that it defaults to NZ English, but I'm stuck using the Aussie dictionary - who knew there was such a thing?

Re: Best feature
NZ English has tended to stick more cosely to British spelling as Australian has moved toward US. There are also many usage differences. I just learned yesterday that what we call a light bulb in Zild, is likely to be called a globe in Strine. Then there's the whole thong/jandal thing, and that doesn't even touch on the Seednee/Sudney debate. And, NZ ENglish now includes an ever-increasing number of Maori words used (for obvious reasons) nowhere else. :DWhat is the difference of Kiwi and Aussie English?

Hi there,<br><br>I also think the dictionaries are probably the best feature.<br><br>I'm thinking that this: Seednee/Sudney debate has to do with a place that has a large opera house. On the other hand, I don't even want to get near the thong/jandal debate! If that's okay with y'all. <br><br>steve
