Get you facts straight, man. I can say "Egads, folks! bla bla bla BLABLA!", or I can say "I say egads to you all" Prove me wrong and I will gladly stop using the phrase as I do

 

You can say whatever you want but I can tell you as an american it would be clear that you are not a native speaker, besides it makes no sense. The norwegian equivalent would probably be " Herregud til dere!" which hopefully doesn't make much sense to you. The intent of the expression is that you are speaking to god, not to others.

 

I just offered the advice because this is a forum for trying out your english skills and though I am not an english scholar I am a native speaker and am familiar with the vernacular of american english. Just as I appreciate advice on my missteps in norwegian, you might appreciate the same.

I have read many american books in english!

Such as Misery.

 

I found it very easy to read. It is a very frustrating book. I always get frustrated by captivity.

It is like klaustrophobia almost.

I've only read one English book and I think that it was Don Quijote or Robinson Crusoe. Or maybe both :p

 

And had a oral test at school today, got 6/A as a mark :new_woot:

I might think I've been categorized as the English teachers favourite student since she's Scottish and I'm 1/4 Scottish :p

Just one english book? Sorry, but what's wrong with you? :tease:

 

Every single book I have (with the exception of a yuletide present) is written in english. Harry Potter, Wheel of Time, Otherland, Belgariad, Star Wars, Warcraft, Drizzt, Hellsing, and many many more.

I've put so many hours into reading that if I spent it on homework instead, I'd be in the newspapers with A's all over my sheets.

English-speaking members in a Norwegian forum?

 

That's kinda awesome. I love Americans. And Brits. And Scots.

 

 

Cool! My farfar immigrated from Lancashire, england and like most midwesterners I have german and irish in my ancestry. Ironically enough though, I am more familiar with norwegian culture than the others.

Please don't use norwegians words in the middle of an english sentence, it just looks incredibly odd. :p

"Bretonic" isn't a language. If you're talking about the Breton language, it's the brythonic language that is least related to English. Welsh or Cornish are better bets if you're looking for something related to English.

I assume you mean norwegian culture. Since no reference is made to the past, than norwegian culture are all the values and customs held and exercised by norwegians today
