Nah, I think Michael Wright's showing a better wrong way.
People will make allowances if it's clear English isn't your preferred
language, but that doesn't relieve you of the responsibility to try to
make a good fist of it.
OTOH Michael's first language is almost certainly English, and it's true
Queenslanders talk funny, especially up around Townsville, but I expect
even Queenslanders would have no idea of what he's talking about.
