Woody - whatever you do, don't listen to the one about how he WENT walk-A-bout WITH his PEN. (He knows where the stresses are supposed to go, you've got to give him that.)

Ironically, it just goes to prove WAV right - when people lose their culture, society suffers. He's lost, or rather discarded, his own good true Australian culture - the one that he grew up in; the one in which he learned to talk and learned to read; the one that goes with the accent that he's still got and the vocabulary that he still uses. And society is suffering for it.
