Different version of English in Australia than in the US (or Canada, or England, or New Zealand, even.) I'm noticing that as I read and watch Kerry Greenwood's Phryne Fisher mysteries.
You would notice it, especially in that show. It's very 1950s Australian, back when local usage was more UK-English based and before TV and the internet Americanised a lot of our English-usage.
For the same language, it's interesting how similar and differently it's used.
