I'll fix this.  Thanks.

This is more interesting.  While it has been in common (spoken) use for 
500 years, acceptance of the written / formal form appears to only 
recently have gained some form of offical acceptance.  Macquarie (OZ) 
was explicit on this, Oxford (CA) was more vague.  I should probably try 
to check Webester's new speak.

Anyway, we're all speaking / writing Strine, eh?

enjoy,
Andrew
