Re: Australia

[(Anonymous)]

Do Australians use British spelling for everything, or have completely separate spelling conventions, or is it like Canadian English where you pick and choose?

Re: Australia

[(Anonymous)]

Most of the time we use british spelling- like mum and colour but there are quiet a few Americanized words in our vocabulary as well. Like when we talk about 'pants' we're following the American meaning while the British call them trousers. So yes we are a lot like Canada in that we usually follow the british spelling system but we have adopted quiet a few American words and meanings into our vocab.

Also there was a brief period in history (around the 1900s or so) when there was areal push to adopt the American spelling system, as such one of our major political parties was renamed 'the Labor Party' and was never changed back to include the u after everyone stopped trying to spell differently.

And if I heard someone say 'pants' when they meant 'trousers', I would correct them

I agree that some people pick and choose, usually the younger generation who don't know any better, but it is actually not acceptable

Re: Australia

Really? The only time I ever hear anyone call pants trousers are when they are a part of a suit or something. Most of the time they are specifically referred to as pants. Even in ads.

I, too, have only heard pants used to refer to trousers - and that includes from my grandparents. Trousers for suits though.

Re: Australia

[(Anonymous)]

Canadian here, but I would say all trousers are pants, but not all pants are trousers.

Re: Australia

wise words.

Re: Australia

I'm nearly 40 and I use pants to mean undies and trousers interchangeably. It can get confusing.
