37 years in Aus, never heard anyone say "rellos". "rellies" - lots of times. My wife agrees and she's Aus born. Immigrants and visitors often take a common language pattern as a universal rule, and therefore get things "wrong". But sometimes the "wrong" usage takes over - is this happening in this case?

Apologies to anyone who's thinking of whinging about off-topic posts.
