It seems that the 2 weeks I spent trying to get a passing familiarity with Danish has completely destroyed my ability to correctly construct tense structures in English. Bleah! Hopefully my gramatical abilities will return soon.
Oh dear, I certainly didn't mean to imply that you were silly. The wink was because Danish and Swedish are so very similar. I just meant it as a silly, humourous remark and that was what the wink was meant to indicate.
Yes, pronunciation is harder in Danish and figuring out how to spell a word from the spoken word is bizarre. Also, Swedish numbers are reasonable. The Danish numbers do weird things with scores and half scores. My poor Swedish father lived in Denmark for years and never learned the Danish numbers. He had no trouble with understanding Danish. Of course, my mum is Danish and my sister and I spoke Danish (with a little Swedish thrown in) to both of my parents while we were growing up.
