DK : Ø

[General Lighting]

Some years ago, one of the engineers from Danmarks Radio told me that the Danish people were very proud of "ø", as it was a letter, a word and a place

I think we were talking about computer keyboards, there is Ø instead on a Danish keyboard where the "@" is on a British one (and other stuff like brackets are in different places, which caused confusion to the non-technical users when these odd characters get used in passwords)

(I think I also saw on the ungdomshuset graffiti that someone had sprayed "ø" on the wall)..

so if I asked to go to "Ø, Danmark", where would I actually end up?

sure it wasnt a worn squaters symbol? lol

[elretardo87]

Ø is in the valley of the Nørreå in the eastern part of Jutland (the western continental bit of Denmark)

Its also the symbol for the socialist/commie coalition in Denmark (I think)

Correct me if I'm wrong o Dane folk.

We have both Ø and @ on the keyboard

We have Æ and Å too..

Think we are the only country that use them..

Was trying to find a picture but couldn't so I took a picture on mine instead

(I think I also saw on the ungdomshuset graffiti that someone had sprayed "ø" on the wall)..Like Elretardo say

Its also the symbol for the socialist/commie coalition in Denmark


so if I asked to go to "Ø, Danmark", where would I actually end up?The letter Ø is used as the name for islands (all island)

like the English word island is used for all islands

so is KØBENHAVN Ø actually an island? We have a place like that in London

it is probably not as pleasant, not even a proper island (but you can see it on the Eastenders titles)

Ø is also the shortage of Øst witch means East

I'm starting to get confused now :crazy_diz
