Day Twenty Two, off with the shoe

Day Twenty Two, off with the shoe, originally uploaded by charlierobinson1966.

i do have a legit reason for wearing my havanas. this week they are the most comfortable thing to wear... especially considering i stepped on a nail. ouch.

but it's also coming up to australia day... so we have to pull out our "thongs" or "flip flops" or whatever it is you want to call them :)

in fact "whatever you want to call them" is an interesting point. an onliner friend who lives over in america recently had to be "trained" in australian speak so that he could work out what the hell we were talking about... in casual conversation mode we tend to let the proper english slip - and throw another shrimp on the barbie mate becomes and old fashioned poem...

so, i had an interesting observation that whilst our websites and more corporate type writings use proper english, in Plurk, FaceBook Status & even Twitter land tends to lend itself to slang...

but it's all for the good of being ... xc
