Also, his appearance kept switching back and forth between his real self and his Marx avatar.

I wish dream-Rune taught me how to read the o with the / through it. I never heard it pronounced aloud, so I still don't get the difference between that and the regular o.

I didn't see this post until just now.

Pronouncing the Ø is difficult, it is a favorite passtime of the Danes to make foreigners say the phrase 'Rødgrød med fløde'.

But here is a fun fact: 'Ø' is also a one letter word, meaning 'Island'. So is our equally amazing letter 'Å', which means 'Stream/Creek'.
