    The main difference, I'd say, and I'm talking about the one, single, major noteworthy point of the difference between an Aussie and Kiwi accent, would be that they're completely different.

    They pronounce their i's as u's or e's, e's as u's, k's as w's and a's as 7's.

    Hey overmind... What's two plus four?

    six, not seex as you'd say :p atleast i can pronounce Whakatane. >_>

    The only thing annoying thing about most US accents is the silentification of H before U's, it's right for hour but 'uman? seriously? that and the pronounciation of oo as in roof. But sorry for imposing my epic accent. :p

    Im another yank with a understandable southern accent and damn proud of it.

    I've always liked German and British accent's, although i like the german accent more, it just sounds classier.

    The best example of what ui'm thinking off would be on everybody loves raymond," i'm a uman being!" I know that TV is not accurate for accents (even i notice the accents in shows like flight of the concords) but it's the best comparison i got.

    I was called "Australian" on an airport once since people tend to misread "Austria", so in a sense yes I'm an aussie -_-

    Hehe.

    There are no kangaroos in Austria.

    I used to have a shirt with that on it. It was funny to see people's reactions to it, though I was in preschool at the time...

    We have wangaroos and kombats though.

    And I think there are no other two countries that are mistaken for each other so often.

    GAH their accents are so annoying, I just want to bash all of their teeth in.

    Uh, hey Josh, New Jersey is not the smallest state, Rhode Island is.

    It does in Norwegian haha. Six is seks.

    Isn't that because the Norwegian's spell six close to that? i mean the German word for six is sechs, not to much to miss there.
