While watching this video, I noticed that the guy starring there pronounces some words in a very interesting manner. For example, 'basically' sounds to me as 'bicycly', 'race' as 'rice' and so on. He's from Australia. Is this a standard Australian pronunciation, or some dialect? And is there in Australian English something like British RP - the pronunciation that can be very different from the 'live' pronunciation of people from different regions and social classes?
And a slightly off-topic question:
Do Australians get offended or annoyed when their country is jokingly called 'Ozz' and the people 'Ozzies'?
