apologies
I am so sorry to the people who have been reading these funny sayings of a Norseman. I have been drowned in Ost-Asian education. Those who have helped me get used to this will be laughing now. But really, I am swamped all the time for one month. Meanwhile, the Alchemist, he has been teaching me English, with a kind of mock sarcastic style when he is pretending that it is most amazing that Dansk educated in Amerika cannot speak a word of Anglo-Saxon.
Of course, as I have told Der Fascist before, that is all nonsense. I am perfectly able to write and speak well in English. I am not ungrammatical even though some say that my turning of phrase is not quite the idiom of the Mother Tongue. And anyway, English is some kind of bastardized descendant of Indo-Aryan origin words which produce offspring who then have affairs with their ancestors.
Any way, back in school is a circus, which only my sanity is supplied to resist by the personal knowledge that it comes to an end every few months. I am content. I will blog more when I can.

Of course you write grammatical English. It's just the wooden use of it, what Sherlock Holmes would describe as "being uncourteous to your verbs". Then again, the Alchemist has no right to be sarcastic -- especially since you mentioned "Mother Tongue".
