I'm a NZer and I do live in the US, but I've never had a girlfriend. Of my brothers, I'm the only one to still have an accent after 14 years.

I lived in Australia for a year, and I couldn't understand why the Aussie kids at school laughed when I said "All hands on deck"

Getting back on topic, I'm not a fan of those voice recognition systems that some companies I use. I prefer the old fashioned method of pushing 1 for "yes" and 2 for "no".

No we don't, you didn't get this from watching crocodile dundee or something have you as we often put on a fake accent some movies so you belive the character is Australian. The Wiggles are Australian, do they say six like sex, you better hope they don't.

I tried saying a line from the song "How do you like me now" with mine. This is what I got

"see the Roney like the Mac now that I’m on my way
you so think I’m crazy
be indignant today Ripken
it make you love me
rallied stream bed
that living in my radio
Freddie lee Nina"
