I feel like this question is cheating. This could be the only question in the survey and it would be able to identify Australians.
- Schwolop 12y agoShe'll be apples when she discovers this.
- aashaykumar92 12y agoI clicked "She'll be right!" just to test if this was true and none of the results guess me to be Australian. I had originally thought the same as you did but was pleasantly surprised.
- tcheard 12y agoI didn't pick that option and it still put my number 2 dialect as Australian.
- the_af 12y agoWhy would Australians say this? Is it because for them an exam is a "she"? (disclaimer: not a native English speaker myself, though the test guessed "American English (Standard)").
- MetallicCloud 12y agoI don't know the origins, but we seem to use 'she' as a synonym for 'the situation'. She'll be right. She's all good. She's apples. etc.
- chrismorgan 12y agoIdiom: “she’ll be right, mate.” It’s generic, meaning “it will be alright.” Despite all this, it still reckoned me en-NZ before en-AU. Oh, the shame! 😉
- MetallicCloud 12y agoBeing Australian, I selected that answer but it actually guessed I was a New Zealander first (2 and 3 were Australian and South African respectivly)
- wluu 12y agoYeah, that one was rather fishy. It guessed correctly that I was Australian.
