I can't believe how many times I have had people been scared of getting my Australian accent wrong and calling me kiwi or vice versa, as though I would kill them if they did...
Aparently Kiwis hate being mistaken for Aussies, funny how they all move to Australia though.
I hate being mistaken for a kiwi because they all sound so monotone and I sound nothing like them..
But it doesn't bother me really. I generally just laugh.
I was in a training day just last week, there was 4 Scots me (Aussie) and a Kiwiw girl, for an example in a situation the word chips was used and the Kiwi had to say it, but Kiwis say chups, not chips... ahh, funny stuff. They also say sex instead of six... :D
