> Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties

> To aid in the transition to a British Crown Dependency, the following

"vocabulary".
> Using the same twenty seven words interspersed with filler noises such

> 3. You should learn to distinguish the English and Australian accents.

>
> 9. All American cars are hereby banned.  They are crap and it is for

> 10. Please tell us who killed JFK.  It has been driving us crazy.
