I know you're just on first name terms with your sheep H2 otherwise I'd have to start the sheep jokes again and HP would be pleading with me no not those again 
I like the thread, I think there is lots of asses out there but one worth mentioning is from Amy Moss's profile...

I like to cherry pick spellings of words from the uk or the us. So I prefer Ass - the "r" in it seems pointless as I don't like anything in my ass! 
I also like their spelling of Jail. Calling it a goal or something similar confuses my simple brain! However there are far more British spellings and grammatical phrasing that I prefer. I don't like many of the American grammatical abbreviations. I like the "u" in colour, honour etc but I will ask you to write "to" me not write me etc they seem to drop the word "to" here and there. just a personal preference but my English teacher would kill me !

Spot on Dallas.
Language is culture and culture is what makes a nation what it is. I have a profound respect for our language and its myriad shades of expression and tend to be offended when people don't use it correctly. They are being disrespectful of the centuries of development which went into it and, in many cases,showing themselves to be either poorly educated or just plain lazy.
Sure, there are lots of spelling anomalies and finicky rules but once learned, hopefully in primary school and early childhood, they become second nature.

Newsreaders Minny Tornado wrong it was a willy-willy Chopper and there not refining to Mr Read it was some thing involving a Helicopter.

Johnny Public and saying..."Aye" after every sentence gets a little tiring.
Ocker to the max... Aye.

That may depend on where you live we don't seem to get that up here very much
But then again we aren't Scot's either But in bigger places we often here the Ay or is it Eh? Regularly .
But you can always tell an indigenous person even if in another room They tend to finish most sentences with You know?

It seems that the IQ of the general populous has dropped considerably in the last 5 - 10 years.
And a lot more tattoos.

Yes, putting an apostrophe s on nouns to make them plural is also a widespread mistake in Oz. I see it all the time at work, and from people who should know better. What are we teaching kids in schools these days! As language is continuously evolving, do you think these errors will become the norm in future?

I cringe at our language these days.
The last I heard about our great Australian Mr Fenech is that he had been arrested for shoplifting.
And Mr Thorpe he appears to be on the skids also. Sigh!... I had high hopes for the Thorpedo.

I agree too, I like to learn how English is used in different cultures and I try and adapt to fit my audience but I think it's important to understand the languages history and not let it be lost. I do however like how teenagers have developed text-speak or SMS short hand. If it was left to adults we all would be trying to message like a well punctuated letter. We just need to make sure that kids also learn basic language skills for when they move into their working lives.
