Episode Day 59 (5/11/14) Daily show

I think Travis should be given an almost similar leeway in a that his pronunciation is strongly influenced by the fact that he's grown up ( ok... got older...) with an Italian family speaking English with Italian accents. He's not speaking pure Anglo-Aussie bogan.
With Priya, I think her slow motion speech comes across as a little pretentious, and as a way of continuing to occupy a sound space while not really having enough to say to justify it. That's just her tho' not her accent.
Most people who've learnt a second language later in their life (not as kids) tend to speak it slowly and clearly to avoid misunderstandings and to be understood.
 
And in case anyone was wondering, tonight's the Theorist posts are kindly brought to you by:

I still don't get it. I click 9 I am on C9, click 99, I am on GO, all the same to me. Sometimes I watch ABC and sometimes ABC2. I don't think one Channel is better than the other.

Thank you for trying to make me understand

Back in the olden days (when I was a girl etc etc) we only had a handful of channels, and Nine was one of them. Over more recent years there have been off-shoots and other channels added, but there are some still considered ‘core’ (ie the originals...if that makes sense). So GO! and others are like ‘fillers’ - where the majority of content is repeats and lower-rated programs.

TLDR: BB being played on GO! is kinda like being sat at the kids’ table at Christmas. ;)
