    No realli! She was Karving her initials on the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given her by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian møvies: "The Høt Hands of an Oslo Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Mølars of Horst Nordfink".

    Akshually, ø and æ aren't part of the Swedish alphabet. They're Danish and Norwegian. In Swedish you have ä and ö; å is common to the three languages.

    This change absolutely nothing, but now you're able to distinguish Swedish and Norwegian at a glance!

    Wait, the "o" in "holiday", "lovely" sound different, so which is it?

    Neither actually. It sounds more like the e in permit or term, the u in uuh also gets close. They are not the most common sounds of the letter but I struggle to find analogous in English for the more common sound.

    Why did I read this in the Swedish Chef’s accent?

    Because you've never watched Monty Python I'd bet.

    You could've watched Monty Python and still read it in the Swedish Chef's accent.

    I always read it in a Canadian accent, because I didn't know what Swedish people sounded like when I watched it as a kid, so I just assumed they sound like Canadians. As is reasonable...
