The Language

casper — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 21:06:41 +0000

As a non-native English speaker it can sometimes be difficult or awkward to use a language I did not grow up with (my English teacher actually failed me in verbal English – in High School). But it also makes me allergic so to say, to ‘add’ words to my native Danish – not mine (as [...]

Persons

Just a small note…. It’s “people” and not “persons”!

One person, does not become persons where there is more of them. They become people…..

And yes, my English is not that great either.

Update.

It seams that I am wrong, according to a dictionary;

When is a “word” a trademark

casper — Wed, 28 Mar 2007 12:25:01 +0000

A story came up on the Danish newspaper Politiken, that Mel Gibson have stopped a small danish brewery (Midtfyns Bryghus) from producing a beer by the name of “Braveheart“, as he thinks that he owns that word….

In my humble oppinion this thing where ‘famous’ people can decide to trademark words [...]

‘Blog comments‘ you say, well let me tell you I love them, they are simply adorable, and they make me think that someone out there actually read my blog – the only thing I have an issue with are comments like:

On the travel with Planes

Casper — Sat, 09 Dec 2006 11:44:45 +0000

I don’t know if you have had the great enjoyment of traveling with planes lately?

Well first, if you don’t know; our people elected representatives in Brussels did come up with what they call a ‘great’ idea, which means that we (that is us who normally do use planes on a regular basis to go [...]

Macromedia adverts

Casper — Sun, 03 Dec 2006 16:25:18 +0000

Is there something more anoying, than going to a website, and then suddenly you remember that you did not turn down the volumes?

The most (for me) right now is a Danish newspaper – Jyllands Posten – also in commonly called Jyllands Pesten

Europe to become free of Trafic Signs….

Casper — Sun, 19 Nov 2006 22:04:54 +0000

Reading this, make we wonder if the people makeing these decisions actually driver car, motorbike, bicycles, or just walk. Most people who move around in the trafic tend to ignore [...]

I normally do not really complain about the weather (except for the normal; “oh it’s raining”, or “shitty weater yesterday, spend my whole sunday on the sofa with hangovers”).

But it is now so “cold” that I’m starting to think about finding my winter gloves, and that means [...]
