In some languages, such as Icelandic, you are much more likely to see a regular accent rather than a diaresis. The Finnish language in fact is not a Scandinavian language at all, nor are the Finnish people culturally Scandinavians, but are rather ethnically and linguistically related to the Hungarians. Umlauted A and O only exist in their alphabet so that they can write Swedish loan words.Rioni Unchainedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15249112584406070092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88027082135973561.post-5266195439045279492007-12-10T17:13:00.000+03:002007-12-10T17:13:00.000+03:00To me, a circular character with a slash through i...To me, a circular character with a slash through it is a "0" (zero). (I also make "7"s and "Z"s with lines in them to distinguish them from "1"s and "2"s.)<BR/><BR/>As for the dots above the letters, someone needs to clean the spots off the sign!<BR/><BR/>If I saw such a sign written in something that is supposed to pass for English, I would think that the folk there were "zeros", for it tells me that they either can't spell or that they ran out of "O"s (Ohs).<BR/><BR/>But then, this is supposed to be a joke, so I'll leave it at that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88027082135973561.post-87986840624100404312007-12-10T16:18:00.000+03:002007-12-10T16:18:00.000+03:00I have to be honest, Dr. Tom.

I'm a Baptist seminary student, but as soon as I saw the sign for this Lutheran church, I felt a stirring in my soul that told me "Hey, this is the place to go. What an uber cool church sign". <BR/><BR/>I tried to find that church's address, but I couldn't. Do you have it?Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12131408704271847433noreply@blogger.com
