It’s funny that I never really noticed this before I went away, and then came back, but the whole Australian Question Intonation is really a thing.
I was in a shop the other day, and the assistant said “That’ll be nine dollars and eighty?”
I genuinely thought she was asking my opinion on her adding.
It’s a bit of a shocker to think that this is how the rest of the world hear my accent!
It’s annoying, isn’t it?
Are you saying I’m annoying?
I don’t know. Am I?
I hope not?
Of course not?
