       the Norwegian version of "to/too" is "å/og"in speech, "å" and "og" sound the same.but in writing, "å" means "to", and "og" means "and"an uneducated person will write "han å hun" instead of "han og hun" ("he and she")someone who learned that "å" is "the wrong one" might overcompensate and use "og" everywhere, even if this is just as wrong.

       @thor I wish we did a reform. There's no reason to not write "å" for everything. Noone says "og". Same for other words like "de" (they) which is pronunced "di". All 1st-graders make this "mistake", but they are right and the correct spelling is wrong.

       @audunmb at least we're not English or *shrudder* Frenchwe're *decently* close to writing the way we speak, all things considered.

       @thor yeah, I agree. English spelling is more like some occult secret, which is why you can have absurd stuff like "spelling bee's".

       @audunmb it's hilarious that English is so confusing to spell that there are competitions for itwe don't even have those in our country. there would be no point.

       @audunmb when the anglophone want to use letters the way they were meant to be used, they bring out the phrase "phonetic spelling" for that

       @thor Since I've started working a office job, I'm still surprised by how many people get this wrong
