Do you type Oz, or Aus when talking about the great land down under in the abbreviated form?

Aussie or Ozzie?

I've been a stickler for Aus for a long time... feeling it somehow more prop-er and less bogan.. but am feeling the love for Oz lately...

Thoughts?

Agree, but have found myelf using the shorter Oz. Is it that we're all just so european nowdays and Aus just gets sooo confusing for Austria?

PS - You're not just bored waiting for a test to start at 1am or anything are you Travi?

definately not...lol

just used it one of my latest tweets, and it felt weird... "verbalised" that thought...

It's the first in a 5-part series, about different names for different positions, and how much we hate the kiwis....

Personally I find it annoying when Kiwis refer to us, the country, as Aussie. An Aussie is a person (or an adjective), not a place.

Stuff the Euros. If they can't work out the difference between AUStralia and AUStria, then they can go and shag a dog.
I don't really care for clowns who can't tell that differnce.

When I travel I take the time and effort to learn about where I am intending to travel.

It is AUS for me.
