        Reminds me when I was a person from Switzerland living in the UK, and this girl started randomly talking to me in Swedish. And was super suprised when I seemed confused. Apparently, her friend had told her I was Swedish. 😭

    We don’t really like to talk to people, so we got another one: Å. That is water that is smaller than a river, bigger than a brook.

      So you can technically have an Ö in an Å?

        Usually island means a larger land mass, not just a bit of dirt sticking out of a creek, so probably not. An å on an ö though probably.

    We need to convince the Croatians to accept Swedish as their second official language. Then we could have an Ö named Krk.

    it is the one that most looks like an island, though.

    So for them, an island is as important as “I” for English speakers.

        Actually, yeah, kinda?

        Like, there are only so many one-syllable words. Even fewer words that are just a single letter.

        Generally you don’t want to waste them on complicated, niche concepts that only come up rarely.

            At a basic level… yes? I think all those words are important enough in English to be short words. They’re important in a way that “theatrical” and “equally” are not as important.

            And none of those words are as important in English as “a” or “I”.

              So cucks are more important than ministers, noted… Can I implore you to say your theory out loud?

            One could argue that “god” and “man” (as in humanity) are pretty important concepts, and dogs and cats were probably more important to our ancestors than they are now.

            But then there are words like gel, mop, wig, tug, and dam that kinda make that fall apart again.
