I'll fix this. Thanks.

This is more interesting. While it has been in common (spoken) use for
500 years, acceptance of the written / formal form appears to only
recently have gained some form of offical acceptance. Macquarie (OZ)
was explicit on this, Oxford (CA) was more vague. I should probably try
to check Webester's new speak.
Anyway, we're all speaking / writing Strine, eh?
enjoy,
Andrew
