I am sure 100% you are unaware of this...but reading your reply you literally (not joking here) made me laugh out loud. Just simply close your eyes and imagine that I literally in real life, laughed out loud. Not that you care but felt like sharing

[Yasu]

Not many read Swedish, true. But most Swedes speak English well so a lot of Swedish Amiga owners hangs around English speaking forums. So telling people about it here is not as strange as you might think.

Plus if you look at the bigger picture: isn't it fun, even if you can't read the content, to know that there actually is a new magazine out there for Amiga owners and even for an obscure language like Swedish? Or am I wrong to assume this?

[Johan Samuelsson]

Yasu, nope, you are totally right!

[nicholas]

9.5 million Swedes, 5 million Norwegians, 5.5 million Danes, 450,000 Swedish Finns, 60,000 Greenlanders, 320,000 Icelanders and 50,000 Faeroese probably.

[zipper]

Me and other finnish Finns that learned something because of the obligatory Swedish at school.

Why not just translate it to english? Swedish can read english?

I don't think he is English as when we speak to foreigners we speak LOUDLY AND SLOWLY!

There is only one English speaking country by the way and that is Mother England, those colonials just speak pidgin.

Before we go with full blown geographical bashing...let us return here for a second. He has a point however, his point is...he wishes to read the magazine..he wishes to understand the content of the magazine therefore if there was an English and Swedish version I do not see there being wrong here. The thing is...we are lacking in a good English Amiga magazine and it would be super cool to read some magazine about Amiga in English.

I do not think it is a crime. If it is, please paste the legal law that says reading Amiga magazine in English is a crime...and I will be in your side so as not to go to jail.

The point is that not everyone understands English [edited], nor should they have to.

edit by mods: defamatory comments are absolutely not permitted on this site. if you want to bash an entire nation of people, do it elsewhere.

edit by me: I do hope whoever complained is British as the irony of a foreigner being offended at a white Englishman "insulting" himself is hilarious! :roflmao:

@AmigaClassicRule

try amiga future if you're looking for an english-language amiga magazine.  some of the articles are translated from german, but the magazine is always a good read. well, at least in my opinion.

@thread

the last few posts have taken a detour into discussing the merits of a particular language and people. let's stop this right now before it gets out of hand, m'kay?
