In response to Re Good Shanghai Language Mills/Schools (Former FT in China)

@FT
He has a point about the 'thick' Aussie accent - it is quite horrible. However, it is mostly spoken by Aboriginal people, most of whom are unlikely to be teaching English anytime soon.

As for the softer Aussie 'twang' and the notorious rising tone at the end of a sentence, perfectly OK IMHO.

I did, however, miss his following sentence prior to my response to him...............

At least a proper well-educated (white)
South African is able to speak something more akin to the Queen's English that your
average Aussie with all of his or her's totally mutated vowels and jingoistic
vocabulary.

..................and that is just laughable !
