today was a great day i hit 1k posts and picked up some much appreciated rep. now it's off to watch a movie and fall asleep with the wonderfully infuriating macie.
Nå då är det dags att träffas... Får jag presentera mig, jag heter Kari. Jag är en finnjävel från Tyskland.
Vad Jfar menar är att jag har ofta problem med språket i mitt fyraspråkiga livet här; jag tänker på finska, pratar hemma tyska och arbetar med engelska och svenska.
Just presenting myself to Pieloi, nothing important.

I'm jealous of you multilingual people. That or parinoid they are always talking about us. Well it's not parinoid if it's true I used to always say. The only other language I speak is construction site spanglish.
Today my little sister helped me install my new graphics card. Finally, my computer is complete!
Could not understand what you mean, Jim, until got an idea and translated that Swedish not in my head but in Google
It does not mean F.B. when said in Swedish. We Finns and Swedes have a long history together, actually Finland was part of Kingdom of Sweden until 1809. I guess you could compare our relations to relation between the Noble people of the Republic of Eire and UK.
In Finnish jokes it's always a Swede who's a bit slow to understand and does everything wrong, and we have the same role in Swedish jokes.
The F.B. word can be insulting, when a Swede says it. When a Finn admits to be an F.B., it's more to say I allow Swedes to tell jokes about me, us, without feeling offended.
How could I feel offended when they just feel frustrated because of their inferiority. In three weeks time we are going to beat them, once again, in Winter Olympics Ice-Hockey in Vancouver!
