Australian English losing to America (essay)

Australian English is losing its unique characteristics to Americanisms and is gradually dying. With it, much of our distinctive Australian identity is also being lost.

Do you agree?


Well I haven't done any english language these holidays, mainly been sticking to science and maths :P
Was given this topic for holiday homework and honestly, I can't think of much but at the same time I KNOW there is plenty to talk about



(This part I can cover easily I hope) Australian English & Unique characteristics:

Accent/pronunciation, slang, jargon, colloquialisms, swearing, spelling, word choice

Americanisms:
Words such as dude, homie, guy, like, chick

Australian Identity:

What do they mean by australian identity? Is it refering to what people from other parts of the world see as Australian?

I did this essay topic earlier in the year. Would you like me to send you my essay or list any topics you could include?
