    Hi! David,

    On 07 Jan 2022, David Drummond said the following to Lee Lofaso:

    Your "source" is suspect. Ostrich eggs are a very rare commodity in Australia.

    To an Americano the word Emu is nearly unpronouncable. Ostrich is easier for them.

    Cheers,
    Paul.

    And yet the Peruvians have no issues pronouncing it - they even have their own version lurking around looking and behaving very Emuish.

    Actually they're not. The mail order bride business out of Phillippines
    is thriving here.

    Djokovic should've been a mail order bride then.

    Even the Aussies would baulk at him for a bride.
