But written Australian English is different from North American English.
In N.A. things are similar TO each other or they are different FROM each other.
We would no more say Different TO than we would say Similar FROM. Just seems wrong to our ears.
Hey, bubba, whats this gibberish?
The "things" that matter the most to me, my most valuable "things", are protected by a flimsy wooden door with easily breakable hinges and easily pickable locks - my wife and kids.
Valuable to you, is what you meant to say.
Okay what about your house, I bet it's mortgaged so the bank owns it. Oh, you own your house outright, fine but who enforces it? When someone tries to take it from you it's a government giving you a licence to live there as long as you pay property taxes.
Loved the excellent points you brought up. Wanted to add that we shouldn't forget about Eminent Domain when it comes to your home and/or property. The government can come and take it from you anytime, for any reason, as long as you are compensated with the "fair market" value that they decide.
I am a 40 year old single dad. I had a co-worker post almost this exact same comment on twitter a few years back. The funny thing is he missed more work from getting shit faced at the bar than I ever missed from staying home with sick kids.
In my experience, single childless people miss more work than married or parents.
Yeah, they have better things to do. They aren't bogged down with snot-nosed kids and nagging wives. They don't live to work, they work to live. You leave your 9-5 job to come home to your 5-12 job of dealing with the problems of the people who you chose to complicate your life with.
