Brilliant, BJ, thanks for sharing it. The part about 'Eskimo' terms for snow reminds me of a Swedish site revealing the truth behind what we believe to be 'facts', www.faktoider.nu For those of you not fluent in Swedish, part of it is actually in English. Some factoids are truly hilarious!
I recently stumbled over your blog and I must say it's very interesting reading, and funny!
Originally from Chicago, I lived in southern Sweden for nearly 5.5 years, and moved to southern Wales in September 2006. I completed a Ph.D. translation studies in June 2009 at Swansea University, with a dissertation on the translation of children's literature.
Now I live in Norwich, England, where I am a lecturer at the University of East Anglia, and I also work as a translator, writer, and editor.
