I'm sure you get better results though. But again... passtime activity....
Sure it's a pastime activity but to first order for me. Optimizing the process using the tools at my disposal is also pastime for me but to second order.

Not to worry. I haven't played chess since I was a teenager. I never enjoyed being pressed to think while some clock is ticking.

I hate it when they look easy but aren't. I'm of course excused by my limited vocabulary and English being my second language, but still. :(

I accidentally used a used word, i.e. forgot to look it up before I guessed. That turned out to be an advantage. However, a quick check on my translation engine showed, that the solution exists in Danish, too, only with three letters more in the official version. Btw., same as here.

I answer only to use this word I just learned: "chucklesome" :)

And I learned my second Danish word when I used my translator yesterday: blå. The first one was tak. My new hypothesis: all Danish words have 3 letters. I plan to prove it by induction :biggrin:

You have any trouble finding the 'å'? :)

EDIT:

BTW: If you can say "tak" in Danish you can use it in Norway and Sweden too. It's the same word. I kinda "collect" ways to say thanks. "obrigrado" (Portuguese), "chukran" (Arabic), "spasiba" (Russian, pronounced "spasibo", I had Russian in highschool but with around 80% truancy so I "almost" know the Cyrillic alphabet. Apropos chucklesome: I remember that "стол", pronounced "stol", means "table" only because "stol" in Danish means chair). Talk about waste of grey matter....

I'm not much for sharing my failures but this one is so ridiculously convoluted in it's stupidity you might as well have a laugh at my cost:

Not really. I thought I had it on the keyboard but it only generates degrees. I'm also missing the cédille. But I simply use Wikipedia for the correct spelling. I just struggle with Ångström because I cannot remember whether it is an 'A' or an 'Å' and whether it is an 'ö' or an 'ø'. But I think the Swedish do not use 'ø' IIRC.

If I had to use it more often then I would learn the ASCII code number. But until then, Wikipedia must do.

No they use the diacritical "umlaut" (?) The o with the two dots. Anyway you can use Alt-codes for all those weird characters. They're all listed on wiki.

EDIT: Oh, that's what you meant by ASCII code. nvm.
