G'day Gary,
The female coupling you describe would be suitable for one hose, but the other one needs the male connector. To screw it in my mate would have to twist 10's of metres of hose.
You aren't understanding how the threaded female side of the American hose coupling works.
The Female ferrule is free turning around the stem, using a replaceable neoprene compression washer to prevent leakage.
So the entire hose does not have to twist at all.
Your quick coupler is faster, but we aren't that stupid this side of the water. We also have quick couplers that can be installed on the ends of the "standard" threaded garden hose connectors. Available separately and used for situations where the hose is to be constantly connected and disconnected.
--Mac

Shoulda called Ricky Nelson....
Went to a garden party to reminisce with my old friends
A chance to share old memories and play our songs again
When I got to the garden party, the fittings all were strange
I couldn't hook them up, they were a royal pain
CHORUS
But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well.
You see, ya can't please everyone, so ya got to please yourself
People came from miles around, everyone was there
Mac brought his spanner, there was magic in the air
'n' over in the corner, much to my surprise
Dr. Gannon hid in Dylan's shoes wearing his disguise
But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well.
The Yanks have funny fittings, they don't work down under well.

Actually, it's the male threaded coupler on the inlet hose that would be the problem. I did understand, we used to use the same system here. We still can as that style of fitting is still available though almost nobody bothers with them.

Eventually everything will 'sync'.
I remember before leaving the Forest Industry (I ended up the Fire Marshal and weekend Camp foreman), we quit buying Caterpillar Tractors due to the non-metric thing. None of ever thought we'd see that day, we had about 30 Cats from D7's to D9's.
Bought Kubotas.....
And they sold wheeled skidders and we replaced them with Swedish ones. The Swedes had nice calendars...LOL...right short shorts and a bikini top on a machine in the bush with our skeeters and flies...LOL.
I worked for the last Canadian Fire Department that did not go metric. We took a terrible time over that...from others. Worked for us.
I stumbled across an apartment fire, 3rd floor, ladder to the balcony. A former friend of mine was the captain and the engineer yells I don't know what to pump at...he says "ask the bald guy with the beard..." I yell 225 psi at your 3rd guage. Guy fires it up, I step on the hose and say, 'back of 10 psi.' Got a call 2 days later, John the Italian captain says, "those kids were really impressed..." Now if they changed to metric I'd just stand on the hose and guess.....
All my garden stuff is quick connect. The faucet going out of the house has an 8 inch stem to keep the valve well inside the house, otherwise it would freeze. That's like our fire hydrants, 8 foot stem to the main....or they'd freeze too....
It's +1 today, HEAT WAVE! I love it, except it's damp and makes my arthritis scream.
1 million Canucks this year are going to Cuba on vacation. I did last year, might go to Ecuador this year, not sure yet. For 1400 CDN $ or about 1250 US I can fly return to Aussie to one city on a pass and take in three more before heading home. Sounds like a good deal but my feet swell if I leave them down longer than 7 hours. The last long bus trip I took I couldn't wear my shoes the 2nd day....
Hope you sort this out. Ain't culture wonderful!?

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
