Hello all,
I'd love to visit one day.

Cheers.

"On 6 December 1917 Finland became a nation state with its own identity, language, cuisine, traditions and culture."

Now that's journalism.

BBC at its poorest, yes. Half of them would struggle with English grammar these days and they never check anything.

I'm with blunge, although not really.

I liked the semicentennial markka that was produced.


I wonder if the Finnish euro set got a similar treatment this time around.

YLE, the national broadcaster here, has stopped using an editor and the journalists don't use a spellchecker so at least 50% of the articles on their website have typos. Professional pride is dead.

Yes, I was 'getting' that feeling too. The kids laugh at me with my program editor, cursive handwriting, use of a fountain pen and my insistence on working things out on paper instead of a calculator. Also, they hate it when I don't have a Smart Phone I am feeling old

To be honest though, I would fear if they used grammar checkers as it would no doubt serve to restrict the language.
