The multiple united states of mental decomposition.
I think one of the wierdest things with more brithish leaning english, (that includes 'stralian) Is that you add R where it doesn't belong, I know all english people find this really natural and not strange at all, but "drawrings" "sawr a film" etc, I never even once felt any urge to pronouce it like that when I learned english, and I speak fairly british english once I get going.
Oh god, I hate it when people do that. It isn't universal in British English, but is more pronounced in some dialects.
Worse is when the same such people say "think" as "fink". Disgusting

For me this isn't something that is really beneficial to an English speaking nation, since we all know how shit the language is with words that sound different. If anything it would be good for foreign parties trying to learn the language... but who cares about them anyway? :P
I only care because it would be a sad day if Chinglish or Indian English superceded our own dialects.
Collection = Collectshon
Frans = Franz not France
Gost = Go-sss-teh not ghost
I really am unsure how the -ion suffix should be spelt phonetically.
France would be "Fränz" in West Country English, "Fránz" in Northern English, "Fràns" in BBC English (which I believe is the most popular mode of speech international speakers aim for)
Ghost rhymes with "most" where I come from, never heard it pronounced like that :S
People's spelling is bad enough as it is though?
Yes. But this isn't intended for native speakers, what native speakers need are better use of English in print & publication.
