It's written as if Dave is talking. Seemed pretty obvious to me, and it works well in my opinion.

- freehunter 13y agoThere were too many words that I did not know that seemed to be made up. Possibly they are just Australian English words, but it frustrated me in the way that reading a book in a foreign language I only partially understand frustrates me. More time is spent trying to guess the meaning of the word than is spent enjoying the reading. "logorrheic caddy, yippy-yapping about" or "the crash led to them having some pretty heavy ding-dongs" - this may as well be French from as well as I understand what is trying to be said.
- cpncrunch 13y agoYes, I think they are all Australian colloquilisms. A few I didn't know, but it didn't bother me. I thought "ding dong" and "yip yapping" were fairly obvious anyway, and words like "Sheila" would be known to you if you know a tiny bit about Australian culture.
- nickthemagicman 13y agoYeah but IS THAT A SENTENCE. Hint:(nope)
- cpncrunch 13y agoI just read it again, and it seems a perfectly valid sentence with all the usual bits in the correct places. What part in particular were you wondering about? caddy is a noun, logorrheic is an adjective, yippy-yapping a verb, etc.
