Love this. Are you an Aussie? Only an Aussie would start with a conversation with "Mate", or "Maaaate" for when emphasis is needed.

That is the first positive comment I've ever had about m8.fyi - thank you, really!
I'm British - "mate" is used often but it doesn't sound as friendly as when Aussies use it!

It's actually not particularly friendly. The old joke is that Aussies call people they don't know mates, and people they do know cunts.

And Brits! Fairly common to be referred to as “chill, mate”…
