    All I can say is that you english speakers are very strange and sensitive about this. And it can be hard at times moderating myself, as there are words in my language that are perfectly innocent, that when translated to English you would see as a swear word...I have learned. Sometimes that makes it hard for me to form a sentence when I want to describe things.

    We're aware it can be especially difficult in circumstances such as your's, and we greatly appreciate how well you self moderate in these instances.

    I can assure you, Rune, that many native english speakers have difficulty in forming a sentence, both verbally and in writing, that doesn't include rude or offensive language.

    Yes, I am aware of this, but it is sometimes very difficult to know what words will be percived as offensive language in English, when the same words in Norwegian could be used in a conversation with the most holy and conservatives of grannies, without causing any offense.
