Ten Top Signs that you're an Internet Nut.
10. When filling out your driver's license application you give your IP
address.
9. You no longer ask prospective dates what their sign is, instead your line
is "Hi, what's your URL?"
8. Instead of calling you to dinner, your spouse sends e-mail.
7. You're amazed to find out spam is a food.
6. You "ping" people to see if they're awake, "finger" them to find out how
they are, and "AYT" them to make sure they're listening to you.
5. You search the Net endlessly hoping to win every silly free T-shirt
contest.
4. You introduce your wife as "my lady@home.wife" and refer to your children
as "client applications".
3. At social functions you introduce your husband as "my domain server".
2. After winning the office super bowl pool you blurt out, "I feel so
"colon-right parentheses!"
And the number one sign you are an Internet Geek:
1. Two Words: "Pizza's Here!"

Americans do something similar, e.g., probably is often pronounced
prolly, believe is bleev, terrorist is terrist, etc., and often the truncated
words are slurred together, such as the question "Jeet?" for "Did you
eat?". It must be something inherent in the English language, and must
wreck havoc with foreigners trying to follow.

"Atheism is the world of reality, it is reason, it is freedom. Atheism is human
concern, and intellectual honesty to a degree that the religious mind cannot
begin to understand. And yet it is more than this. Atheism is not an old
religion, it is not a new and coming religion, in fact it is not, and never has
been, a religion at all. The definition of Atheism is magnificent in its
simplicity: Atheism is merely the bed-rock of sanity in a world of madness."

No, you're thinking of "Australian" which is pronounced "strine" (by country
people) or "strane" (by city people)..."strine" is also the name given to
this way of speaking.

American English is mangled ("center\central")("donut\dough"), but
prettier.
Australian English is more economical....we cut out as many syllables as
possible.
Australia is pronounced oz-stray-a!
I thought it was oz-strie-a. Or do you pronounce s-t-r-a-y as
"strie"?
No, you're thinking of "Australian" which is pronounced "strine" (by country
people) or "strane" (by city people)..."strine" is also the name given to
this way of speaking.
Language is too hard. I give up.
