Honestly Australians are always desparate to keep in step with overseas. If it wasn't for the proliferation of overseas grading systems I am sure we would have scrapped the Ewbank system ages ago.
For instance we have rapping, pins, stemming, karabiner spelt with a c and other Americanisms. I liked it when the Queenslanders used the term jambing. It was different to the rest of the world. I bet you lot can't remember that. |
