i speak standard NZ English, at base, rather than southern, south Auckland, or Maori dialects (naming the major divisions loosely
)
'course, my own speech has just enough South African to throw people (thanks to my mum, who's occasionally been mistaken for a South African by South Africans, thanks to her step dad, who Is South African)
amusingly, i usually speak quite 'properly', which is a bit odd when one consider's my social status. but gets less so when you realise my grand parents on my mother's side were fairly well off farmers, and on my dad's side lived in Christchurch, New Zealand, which tends that way Anyway (well, discounting that subsection of socitey who seems to have decided that a mix of Maori and American black gangster is the way to go
those people confuse me, but are mostly the poorly educated.)
i do have a fairly wide vocabulary though.
on the whole well/very thing that came up earlier in this thread:
i've seen 'well', often as part of or where one would expect 'well and truly', used to mean 'thoroughly', 'it's well fucked' 'it's well barbecued', but replacing 'very' is just plain strange to my eye.
