There's a few problems i can often think of when it comes to translating stuff. 1) Utterly bad translation or typos. 2) word for word translation. 3) bad synchronism between lip movement and speech. =/ That's about it from the top of my head.


Typos are irritating and sometimes they can even change the meaning of the word. As for word for word translations, it seemed like "1984" was translated that way (Norwegian edition). It was hard to read as a result, which is very sad since it's a wonderful book.

Eh, no it's not. NRK sucks! I thoroughly check the TV guide nearly every day. And NRK sucks! The only things they have broadcasted the last year that interested me was "Schrødinger's katt" and "Life in cold blood". NRK has the worst programming Norwegian TV can offer. I'd pick TV2, TVN or even TV3 with its subtitles over NRK any day!


really?
personally, i think _every single_ show tv3 has, to be completely devoid of all mental quality.
i do keep it on, for mindless entertainment and background buzz. i switch on nrk for quality, and i always get it. i am never dissapointed. maybe you are put off by boring titles in the tv guide or something. the programming is always top quality, in my opinion.


I never go by the title of a program, that would be idiotic. I judge their content. Is it something I'm interested in? The answer is almost always no. Checking today's program I only see 2 things of interest. Spiderman 2 on TV3, which I already have on DVD, and the series "A haunting" (or is it "Haunted"?) on TVN. Not too nuts about the American version, I think there's too much "evil" and demons and possessions. The Norwegian version was way better, IMO.

Like I said, I find most of the stuff on NRK boring, but that doesn't mean that I'm terribly impressed by the other channels. I'm so sick of reality! I look forward to the new seasons of "Lost", "Fringe", "My name is Earl" and hopfully more "Åndenes makt". I wish TV3 would do reruns of "Tremors" (the series) and "The Twilight Zone", so I could record them.

I'd never use TV3 for background buzz, it's way too noisy and tiring. If I want something on in the background, I'd pick Animal planet. Or Discovery channel. Or the radio. On low volume. Now that's something NRK is rather good at! The programs I don't like still make nice buzz, while many other radio stations are so noisy. I always make sure not to miss "Verdt å vite" on P2.


actually, i used those before, but i lost them from my "grunnpakke" :D

I have a yellow shirt that say "Feeling Spread"

One that I sent to my brother that lists instructions for making a peanut butter sandwich (it just dissolves into complete jibberish in the last sentence)

One that says "We drive and clash recklessly"

Some underwear that says "Disco Emission Weekend"

A dress that has a skull and says "Loud Sound Round About Route"

a lunch box and drink container that says "What a happy day, my mind is paralyzed"

a purse that says "do you want to play with and me?"

and shirts that say

"Hellow"
"Intelligence refer to a dictionary"
"positive growth pacifism pitfall surreal heavens coat of arms"
"pitfall open the ball W&F's well formed silvery full moon many can bear adversary but few contempt make a figure"
"rally oneself the problem perplexed him apply hold still"
"behavior earnestly with confidence apply presume birds of a feather flock together"
"I love me being most fabulous girl"
"tug keep & out existent circumstances serious affair entire freedom of choice"
"I love my chick you are still green"
"delicious discovered the ice cream I am still sweet"


I have some more that I can't dig up right now.

This one reminds me of when we went to England. We live in a city called Oslo, but according to the invoice we received at the Heathrow Hilton, we came from "Aslow". Thank heavens they only wrote it with one 's'! Still, the very thought of the pronounciation made me both embarrassed and giggly.
