Is it the Queens english or Queenslands english?
rod1849 - perhaps you really meant to ask, “Is that the Queen’s English or Queensland’s English ?” ?Quote:

Some would say that 'Queensland english' is an oxymoron. :D
Dabbler, I fail English dismally. Failed most subjects actuallyQuote:

smidsey. The National Curriculum documents for P-10 exist and all states have agreed to their use. Years 11 and 12 docs don’t exist yet. It seems they can’t decide whether Lord or Lady Macbeth is the guilty party.
If no-one has given you real advice then maybe the National Curriculum is a starting point.
There is always this, http://www.etaq.org.au and probably a suitable forum dedicated to English teaching.
All okay dabbler. I learnt :rofl: the Queen's english in South Australia so wikipedia probably has another variation:oQuote:
