normal as opposed to what? normalcy is based on what you are used to.
i have nothing against aussies. i just happen to find heavy australian accents annoying, not "adorable" like adam suggested.
i wonder what an american accent sounds like! since im around em so much =\ lol.
A course I took was lead by a proper darn sarf person, only 6 or so students but from Boston, Poland, Southern Ireland, Australia. Lovely melting pot of accents.
I like all em of in person. Don't like US accents on TV or film though
Cecil I think you are perhaps looking at the steriotypical Aussie accent, like so many Americans do with the English accent. Like most accents, I believe Australia has softer and Harsher accents... like in Scotland, for example. I watch Neighbours (Australian soap) every day (yes, Im sad ) and I don't really notice the accent much... probably because it's reasonably similar to some English accents, or because I watch it every day and I'm used to it >_<
haha well stereotypical or not my position stands. there may be softer accents and harsher accents, but the harsh ones annoy the heck outta me.
we had these two aussie chicks that came into my work(golden spoon: frozen yogurt), here on like a study abroad program or something, i dunno, and they had pretty harsh accents, and i had to struggle so hard to serve them.
so its not that i have a stereotypical view. i've heard em before and thats just how i feel. no biggie
To derail again quickly, no-one really talks like Steve Irwin here . Well, I tell a lie, some people do and I hate that accent so much; but I don't notice the local accent anymore - the girls sound kinda American to me half the time O_o. It varies a lot even within cities - I can't listen to some of the people who live far out of town, let alone make sense of the words they say.
Back to Mario Kart, I've got 9 days >_< - but I won't be getting it on release I bet... Come to think of it I don't even know if I've got the money right now, hope mum's feeling generous.
The Mii feature in Mario Kart looks interesting. I can't wait to play as various celebrities, video game characters, and historical or political figures.
