Whenever I see you guys talk about "rooting for someone", I start snickering - much in the fashion of a teenage boy.

"Rooting"? Over here, it's the crudest way you could possibly discuss having sex.

Feel free to keep saying it (after all, it's a perfectly legitimate word for you guys) but please be aware of the effect it's having on Aussies...

So the phrase "Money is the root of all evil, and I've been rooting around for it all my life" really doesn't work in Australia?

Yeah but I don't know any Aussie who thinks the first part

Well, I don't agree with the first part and, as far as I'm aware it's a misquote in any case ;-)
