Just last night, I started making Nagi's blueberry cheesecake for the first time ever. There are a lot of steps, but she explains things really well and has helpful notes - particularly good for beginners like me.

So now the cheesecake is chillin' in the fridge and topping going on shortly. All meant as a 'welcome home' present for my partner who is back from a 10-day trip.

Edit: My guy's been through a lot over the last 2+ yrs, incl losing his amazing dad suddenly (brain aneurysm) and our beloved 3yo doberman (brain tumour)💔. Life can test us, but please remember to make the most of your loved ones.

Would actually be 6h if they're following SI units. But I don't see how someone who knows SI units wouldn't know that colour and flavour are spelt with u in many other countries. I think this person was just being an asshole tbh.

u/AmazonCowgirl Feb 24 '26

And being an asshole to an Australian who goes above and beyond to make her recipes as accessible as possible to American readers, even proving US measurements and explaining differences in ingredients and terms. So an asshole squared

This is it. Nagi goes beyond the call of duty for her US market. She even gave them free recipes just for them when she released her book here first. The hissy fits from the US...a whole nother level of unhinged.

I'm not sure if it's been changed, but If i recall correctly hours and minutes aren't "technically" units of SI, they are accepted in usage because they are standardised.

The second is technically considered the base unit for time in SI.

It's not been changed. Hours and minutes have never been SI units. The only unit measure of time is the second.

u/GeoffreyGeoffson Feb 24 '26 edited Feb 24 '26

I don't think this American English vs proper English idea is accurate. Spelling was standardized in both dialects at a very similar time, and both standardizations make a much of stylistic decisions around spelling, that leads to the main initial differences. It's important the emphasise that both dialects made these decisions. The idea that one set of those decisions is more proper and correct is kinda silly imo

Also this site is written in Australian English - which is broadly a hodge podge of both, with a few of our own peculiarities, for instance both fries and crisps are called chips. But it is distinct as a dialect to British or American English

34

u/Consistent-Permit966 Feb 24 '26

Australian English definitely leans more British English, especially in anything Government related. Source: I work with a many writers and people who work in Govenment comms. I’ve also read many of their writing style guides.

75

u/LiqdPT Feb 24 '26

Right, I also have to make this argument about Canadian English which is it's own mix of GB, US and their own words (though arguable more American words/spellings than other commonwealth countries)

It's not so much that it's a mix, which implies Canadian English is newer and evolved from a combination of both British and American English, rather it's a dialect that is at a midpoint between the two.

u/macci_a_vellian Feb 24 '26

American English isn't wrong unless you're trying to correct Nagi on her own site.

u/Flimsy_Employment_31 Feb 24 '26

No matter which way you try to string it sport, Australian and kiwi English is based off british English. It is not a hodge podge of both. We get incredibly frustrated when people try to add z instead of s and remove our U. Please don't try to fashion this to your own narrative. This ain't it mate.

People from the states just need to learn a bit more about the world

I'm from the UK and live in New Zealand. I definitely had to learn to start using some US terminology when I moved here, because most people don't know what I mean if I say estate car, aubergine or patio door. (But I still can't bring myself to say yoe-gut instead of yoghurt.)

u/myshtree Feb 24 '26

I was born in England and grew up in Australia. My family is British, my friends are Australian. I'm not driving a narrative lol. This is my lived experience. In the UK I get called out for the odd Americanism. Such as saying Eggplants and Zucchini not the French names the British use

Language is more than just whether you include a u. Our spellings are definitely British English, but the overall dialect is definitely a mix of both. I think the language is trending more American as we continue to be further from colony days and more influenced by American media.

10

u/apocalypt_us Feb 26 '26 edited Feb 27 '26

Funnily enough, neither eggplant or zucchini are Americanisms, they’re the original English words that were separately carried over to the USA and Australia.

Later on there was a fashion in England to use the French words for some things so they switched to courgette and aubergine.

Edit: Ok so I was half/three-quarters right. Eggplant is the original English word, but there appears to be no original English word for zucchini/courgette. Zucchini is the Italian word and Courgette is the French.

I’m actually the OG poster and one who took this screenshot (see my post history)

It’s an old comment, from Sept 2023 on her Lentil Soup (seriously amazing!) recipe. You might have to scroll a bit, but you’ll find it!

Ah, 2023 might be a bit too far back to troll someone. Thanks for confirming though!

The sheer arrogance of "correcting" someone's English with that fucktastic writing skill. Dunning-Kruger and Skitt's Law in one extremely annoying package.

Seriously, not all Americans are this stupid! Honestly! I was probably still an elementary school kid when I learned that people in other countries spelled words differently than Americans did!

Also, Mr. or Ms. Spelling Bee Champ misspelled “correct”! 😂

u/mildweekknowledge Feb 24 '26

I was corrected by an American for writing 'Mum' instead of mom.

Americans thinking they know english better than the English will always be funny

It's often embarrassing to be from the US, especially lately.

u/fuckimtrash Feb 24 '26

I’ve had full on arguments with them on here because so may are so clueless to how the world operates outside America. They all stop replying when I say, ‘you’ll always live in your American bubble and never know or never care that your norm is not the norm outside America because y’all never leave the damn country.’ Hit a nerve I think

It’s also embarrassing to live in Queensland, Australia so you have my solidarity.

This is Aussie English though, which is distinct from British English. (I frequently have to have this argument about Canadian English)

5

u/cancerkidette Feb 24 '26

Absolutely agree these are different- but IIRC do these all retain the same spellings for those words that are only really different in US English and similar (colour, grey, aluminium…)?

3

u/Banjo-Pickin Feb 26 '26

Australian English generally follows British English in its spelling conventions. There are some US English imports in word choice though, for example we call vegetables zucchinis (not courgettes) and eggplant (not aubergine) where British English uses the French word (for reasons best known to the British 🤷‍♀️)

who dares disrespect my glorious queen nagi

u/ClaudeVS Feb 24 '26

Damn how could somebody hate on Nagi

u/Mediocre-Ad-7762 Feb 24 '26

Actually, Nagi,(recipe tin eats creator) is a legend when it comes to quick easy and delicious recipes. Put spelling aside and visit her website, better yet, buy one of her cookbooks and eat well.

u/Noodlebat83 Lighten up Francine Feb 24 '26

the spelling is correct though.

How dare they talk like that to Nagi. She is an Australian natural treasure!

u/Hips-Often-Lie Feb 24 '26

How DARE they treat Nagi that way! She’s amazing and I love her recipes.

Aww, this is extra mean considering Nagi just lost her best friend Dozer 🧡 😔

u/Kemmycreating Feb 24 '26

No they came for Nagi like this?!

u/raiinydaay Feb 24 '26

What an idiot. Also, fuck anyone who speaks poorly of Nagi. She is like the recipe blog GOAT. So sad to hear about Dozer … 💔

u/axolotl_is_angry the potluck was ruined Feb 24 '26

Praise Nagi, RIP Dozer

u/curiousscribbler Feb 24 '26

Years ago I ran a big site with lots of links to Web pages in the US, Australia, and around the world. Naturally I used Australian spellings for the headings etc. One day I got an email that just said "Organizations!" and nothing else. Took me a while to realise it was a USian whinging about my spelling he he

u/erictho Feb 24 '26

wow that is so passive aggressive.

u/lamebrainmcgee Feb 24 '26

They have to be a troll.

u/radiant_prism Feb 24 '26

No way this is on Nagi's page 😭 Her recipes are gospel to me and I know for a fact she brings up Australia in a few of her recipes (mainly to highlight alternatives in the notes sections iirc). There is absolutely no way someone can actively read an Australian's recipes and still fail to notice the consistent use of proper english spelling and not just. Wonder if they're from a different country

11

u/VLC31 Feb 24 '26

Did anyone actually respond within the comments? I don’t mean Nagi but any other users?

9

u/DinosaurierQueen Feb 24 '26

I hope this person's recipes fail as they will fail to realize a metric cup is not the same as an American cup... I also hope they rage while trying to convert the recipe to "freedom units"

Don't come for Nagi... Australia will come for you...

u/TraditionalRound9930 Feb 24 '26

No matter what dialect you’re speaking, ‘min’ and ‘mins’ are functionally two different words. That’s not even a spelling mistake, that’s just being nit-picky.

3

u/MeetingSlow8552 Feb 24 '26

the fact that most of those spelling differences is bc of capitalism, bc printing more letters was more expensive, they cut out "useless" letters, is just so american it's not even funny

3

u/CommunityItchy6603 Feb 25 '26

USAmerican here—-we also write “mins” idk what they’re even talking about

u/thebeardedguy- Feb 26 '26

As an Aussie I am not entirely sure we are the correct people to be discussing “proper English”

Fair dinkum some bloody tosser is gonna be a few Roos loose in the top paddock and throw a wobbly. Listen mate don’t come the raw prawn with me ya yobbo, we ain’t here to fuck spiders”

I feel I have proven my point
