Typisk norsk is a great program from NRK - the Norwegian public broadcaster - all about language, the Norwegian one that is. And for this one segment, they decided it was time to introduce a new letter.
Why? Becuase more and more people (especially youth) are unable/unwilling to say the "kje" sound - replacing it with the "sje" sound. To understand it better, check out the streaming edition of the show (first episode of season two, at 030305).
On another note - Brad Bird got the Wired Rave Award for ... the Incredibles of course ... and who gave him a boost? The incredible "old man" Milt Kahl - who joined Disney back in 1934. History in the making.
Fun thing with typos - tried to search for the upcoming Rem Koolhaas book on Rome, at Amazon. But since I wrote "Kolhaas" it didn't find any matches... well, the good thing was that the A9 web search did find it ... on Amazon.com !!! No news on the Rome book though, but I did find the NY one. Time to order some more good stuff to read. :D
