Go to school and learn Norwegian  ;D

if you quit acknowledging it as a real language they will have to stop speaking their code.

Det er jo hyggelig at dere lurer på dette her, da - norsk er et kjekt lite språk, men ikke så utviklet og ordrikt som f eks engelsk. Vi trives med det så lenge vi kan, dog er det jo fler og fler som bruker engelsk i dagligtale - ikke umulig at det ender opp med et massivt press for like gjerne å bytte hovedspråk.

Vel vel, nå slutter jeg å prate med meg selv [roll]

I would like to take this opportunity to the distinguish the hyphen (-) from the en dash (â€") and em dash (â€").

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/hyphen
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/en+dash (alt+0150)
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/em+dash (alt+0151)

That's not fair.

I'll say this - what's nice about Norwegian, Swedish and Danish is that they are Germanic languages, like English, and their grammar is near on identical to English. Learning is more a case of learning some vocab, and not having to learn all the bloody nasty verb conjugation (without rules) that dominates English  [bang]

Plus jentene elsker det.  [thumbsup]

Anyway, back on topic.
- is a hyphen, colloquially a dash
/ is a 'solidus' or colloquially a forward slash

Technically you have have different length dashes e.g. an en-dash is the length of an n, whereas an em-dash is the length of an m. Hyphen is the short dash :D.

Off to work for me, now, kiddies. Play nice!

Nei, det gjorde jeg ikke  [bang] NÃ¥ begynner jeg Ã¥ bli lei av han Ducatilakkereren Nate som pÃ¥ sitt idiotiske vis ikke skjønner litt enkel norsk engang. Som Ellingly skriver, Elling er forresten et kjent norsk navn, : det er jo faktisk ganske enkelt Ã¥ lære.

QuoteNo, I did not bang head Now I start to get tired of his Ducati Varnishes holder Nate as on his idiotic show not understand some basic Norwegian time. As Ellingly writes, Elling is the way a well-known Norwegian name: it's actually quite easy to learn.
Despite dashes --- and the letters Æ Ø and Ã...
I'm starting to get tired of you too. [thumbsup]
