did you guys know that 'gullible' is NOT in the australian dictionary?

This is a trick question. There is no "Australian Dictionary"

Any such compendium is published by the companies which produce either the Oxford or Cambridge Dictionaries. Meaning they are both English.

But yes, the word gullible is in every English language dictionary.

Sorry Bro you're waaaaaayyy to soused. :bahaha: :bahaha:

It is a joke, NOT a trick question, only the gullible people say "really" "i didnt know" :rolleyes:

And YES you are wrong again, sorry, Heinemann make an Australian Dictionary, complete with slang words, colloquialisms and Australian Terms...

I have a copy...maybe I made it myself :confused:

Ok, so why dont you tell me then, what is an Australian name? What does it look like? Uluru? Moomba? Wilcannia? Didgeridoo? Platypus? koala? Etc...

Most of us living here are imported, like our cars...although I am 4th Gen Oz my own First & Lastname's are hardly Australian!

Wow - a publishing query. I hardly ever get these...

Actually Ed - both Oxford and Cambridge have production and publishing facilities here in Melb (both in Port Melb).

Cambridge Uni Press offer education textbooks for secondary and higher education markets, as well as localised prints of reference products. Really nice offices too :(

Oxford Uni Press do produce an Australian 'localised' version of the dictionary amonst other reference material. They also publish material in the primary, secondary and higher ed markets.

Heinemann Reed-Elsevier was established in the USA. Heinemann have offices in Port Melb (funny that) opposite an indoor go-karting facility.

Heinemann offer some reference trade books (dictionarys etc) but are mainly focussed on secondary and higher ed educational publishing.

They have many other arms covering primary and trade publishing which are in turn joint-affiliated with larger publishers - like Thomson Learning :(

If you would like to contact any of the publishers - I can provide contact details.

It's OK - I'll get back to work now :D

      My BMW 335i

      There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.

      yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.

      Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.

      I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.

      LOL well, lucky mine doesn't have some R shit on it. Around town, it handles so much better than the R33, R33 in the wet is pretty dangerous to the untrained hoon, especially with 13kg/mm front springs.
