      As an ashamed Yankee, the only time I'm aware of writing an 'Ø' is when I'm handwriting something that has both 'O's and '0's. then I strikethrough the zero to be able to tell the difference. This is normally for some code or model number for something. I wasn't even aware that there were people who were stupid enough to think that accented letters and foreign letters were just "fancy" ways of writing things. Then again, I really shouldn't be surprised by people stupidity at all anymore. :''-(

      They're masters of comedy and music. Though they stopped production last year or so.

(Sweden adopted it first, then Norway and lastly in 1948 the Danes adopted it into their alphabet.)
