oh dear you have upset miss ariadne cos now she thinks you think she is a twat. I reassured her by telling her of course you do.
Australianism is bad. The other day we used the phrase g'day with no sense of irony and Ari's rising intonation is getting bad. I slap her about a bit though and we'll be fine.

I'm very cross. My rising intonation is not getting bad at all; that would seem to indicate a general decline in my accent. What I do have is the occasional lapse, which Lizzie always kindly points out. For this I am very ashamed, particularly because I can no longer tell when I'm doing this. I have lost my ear for the twattish accent. This is a dangerous time.
I have always said 'groovy' and 'chilled' with no irony. But that is because I am a stoner. It is not because I am Australian.
