did you guys know that 'gullible' is NOT in the australian dictionary?

This is a trick question. There is no "Australian Dictionary"

Any such compendium is published by the companies which produce either the Oxford or Cambridge Dictionaries. Meaning they are both English.

But yes, the word gullible is in every English language dictionary.

Sorry Bro you're waaaaaayyy to soused. :bahaha: :bahaha:

It is a joke, NOT a trick question, only the gullible people say "really" "i didnt know" :rolleyes:

And YES you are wrong again, sorry, Heinemann make an Australian Dictionary, complete with slang words, colloquialisms and Australian Terms...

I have a copy...maybe I made it myself :confused:

Ok, so why dont you tell me then, what is an Australian name? What does it look like? Uluru? Moomba? Wilcannia? Didgeridoo? Platypus? koala? Etc...

Most of us living here are imported, like our cars...although I am 4th Gen Oz my own First & Lastname's are hardly Australian!

Wow - a publishing query. I hardly ever get these...

Actually Ed - both Oxford and Cambridge have production and publishing facilities here in Melb (both in Port Melb).

Cambridge Uni Press offer education textbooks for secondary and higher education markets, as well as localised prints of reference products. Really nice offices too :(

Oxford Uni Press do produce an Australian 'localised' version of the dictionary amonst other reference material. They also publish material in the primary, secondary and higher ed markets.

Heinemann Reed-Elsevier was established in the USA. Heinemann have offices in Port Melb (funny that) opposite an indoor go-karting facility.

Heinemann offer some reference trade books (dictionarys etc) but are mainly focussed on secondary and higher ed educational publishing.

They have many other arms covering primary and trade publishing which are in turn joint-affiliated with larger publishers - like Thomson Learning :(

If you would like to contact any of the publishers - I can provide contact details.

It's OK - I'll get back to work now :D
