Y not. <br /><br />CAH - I remember for the longest time wondering what this Y2K everyone were talking about, and why no one was talking about the real problem: the fact that computers wouldn't survive the millennium change. I didn't realize what Y2K meant...<br /><br />Astrid - I hope so too!<br /><br />Madeleine - ..and now you made me google SLT ;) And you're probably right. <br /><br />Jan - I think I'm having a National Hairball Month, and I don't even have a dog/cat/furry friend...<br />(I head out on Tuesday)<br /><br />Yvonne - Haha, I can imagine how that would get confusing! <br /><br />Stephanie - that's the problem with not paying attention (or understanding), eh? I have the same issue with my smallest nephew..<br /><br />Michael - this explains so much! And it makes me want to make a new alphabet song..<br /><br />Marjorie - yeah, I'm aware. It occurred to me while I was writing, but then I wrote it anyway and hoped no one would notice :P The funny thing is that Norwegian don't actually make that mistake very often when speaking English (we make plenty others), but Swedes do! If you want to speak English with a Swedish accent it suffices to pronounce "just" the way it reads to me...
