My wife got her multiple entry 5 year Schengen visa the same day she applied. Her Australian visa she received within a few days as well and is now valid for 3 years.

Try explaining to a Cambodian immigration official (or a Thai one depending on the border) that the reason you didn't print your e-visa is because you're an environmentalist. They'll laugh at you and demand you print out your e-visa nearby and then they'll stamp you in. No exceptions. In the case of Cambodia, I experienced this recently both on entry and exit. I couldn't print out my e visa as it was only sent 40 minutes before I made it to the border.

Yes, it's not proper British English, you got that right. It's slang.

A shortened version of "isn't it"? Any native English speaker should be able to figure that one out though, you don't have to be British to know it. I'm not British, yet I have zero issues understanding it.

It's easy for me, but most Americans can't wrap their heads around the metric system and vice versa for non-Americans (except the British, who still partly use the old system).

I think it's fine to leave aviation alone as changing feet to meters and knots to km/h might get complicated.

However, on a day to day level, I think it might be time to use the metric system on a more extensive basis as was the original plan in the 1970s.

Yet they now have 2L bottles of water and the medical/scientific industries use the metric system exclusively.

Nonsense. There is no particular way of using the word "proper" that differs between different English speakers. You're making things up.

Innit is a well known Britishism though, everyone knows that.
