Hej Garrison, Du kan skriver

Hej Garrison,
Du kan skriver på danska när som helst eftersom det finns alltid ø och dem andra konstiga danska bokstäver tillgängligt genom tangentbordet. Till exempel, trycka och hålla ALT och sen 0248 och sen släppa ALT och man får ø. Komplett listan är:
ø: ALT + 0248
å: ALT + 0229
æ: ALT + 0230
Ø: ALT + 0216
å: ALT + 0197
Æ: ALT + 0198
Men istället för danska varför inte avända en riktigt vakert språk, dvs. Svenska?
Hälsningar,
Mark
Hi Mark —
Thanks for the good information but I just am not that ambitious to press all those keys every time I want to make a Danish letter. And now I've gone and followed your directions and it doesn't work on my computer. ALT plus 0198 and then ALT does not produce an AE or an a with a halo or an o with a slash through it (DO NOT PRONOUNCE THIS VOWEL). Have I misunderstood your Swedish? Is your letter really some secret terrorist code? Have I pressed those keys and detonated a bomb somewhere? In answer to your question, no, I'm not up to learning Swedish. That trilled R is too showy for me, and the O with the sidewise colon on top is much too fattening. I was an English major. Jeg elske engelsk.
