By the way things are going in Auckland and Rotorua we will be speaking chinese in 100 years time. No matter what you do its going to change, its evolution. It went from 10,000 BC when the cavemen were grunting, to the 40's when the most formal and intelligent speaking occured, to now, which is abit like grunting again when you hear my 15 year old brother talk

Evolution and Auckland in one post

"this is Major Tom to ground control".

**James Deuce** · 25th September 2009, 08:20

That's "au".

I guess you lot kinda missed my point or maybee I was off base in how I was phrasing it.
I'm saying we make an actual decision to create our own NZ language rather than simply letting the language natural evolution do its thing.
By doing so we are moving to racial equality.
Kinda I guess speed up nature and lean it towards a way that suits

We're isolated enough without isolating ourselves culturally as well.

Our dialect of English is significantly different from country of origin already without going to the extra effort of total alienation.

Nope. 'Ow' is right. It came into use as a result of one particular BroTown episode, where one of the kids was given a clip everytime he said something. His response was "Ow!' on the end of every sentence.

I get what you were meaning. But like others, don't agree with it. With something as fluid as a (vernacular) language, no stroke of a pen is going to work.
To give an analogy...imagine a farmer with a paddock of mixed stock. Cows and sheep. Could he make one breed adopt the sounds of the other? Or both breeds a mix of the two? Not quite the same, I know, but see what I mean...not in the nature of either breed to 'comply cos someone said so'.
