Weblog | I don't like the word blog, it's ugly. Anyway, new content happens here. (Swedish dito)
About me and the site | Twenty-something male who likes text. Obsessed with things such as books, reality, communication, and one or two tv-shows.
Archives | Things written here since... well, 2001. Some of it is good, some is utter shait.
Books | Books read, not books written. So far I've struggled to maintain unpublished.
Photo | I like my camera and it likes me.
Links | Outwards, away, flee.
e-mail | J. Nicklas Andersson

Just to prove me wrong about reflexive pronouns, Sten Thaning sent me a link to a PDF about Wanyi Reflexive-Reciprocal Constructions. (To be fair, it was not a language I was familiar with, but it still managed to shoot down my confidence.) With it he had the note: “Read it and weep. Especially the table at page 2. Or the one at page 6.” I didn’t weep, I think I got a mild headache. This might be because I don’t understand Wanyi, but I don’t think that had much to do with it really.
On the other hand, the document was interesting. At times Wanyi seems perfectly logical, but then without any warning it takes a sharp turn left and everything changes. Languages are not easy.
They turned Mornington Crescent into Mornington Nomic — which was and is a great idea. Now Kevan and friends gives us BlogNomic.
