Itâs a combination of preciser than aussie normal diction and a broader vocabulary.

I put my preciser diction down to a vast amount of BBC comedy as a kid. Goodies, Ronnies, Good Life, Are you being served Etc etc Gets stronger with a couple of drinks, donât always realise Iâm doing it

Iâve always put it down to the same thing, but I now think an autistic tendency to avoid abbreviations and idioms could also be a part of it.
Catfish@aussie.zone â¨3⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
A definite possibility also
