This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I thought kiwis spoke English.
My favorite author is a kiwi who writes In English and teaches it, but for all I know she sounds like the video
They do have a funny way of speaking it.

All my friends have been on my deck.
They say "LILILILILILI!" Then cut your throat with a thrown chakram that bounced off the throat of the guy beside you.
They do speak English, but in spoken Kiwi, they convert 75% of their vowels to a short i.
And their short i's to a short e
All our vowels are just "u" (or schwa as I was once told).
