Note to self: if you're trying to read a #Norwegian article and everything seems unnaturally hard to read, you've probably not noticed that in it's in #Danish.

@timtfj Most probably it's in #nynorsk

@PierreVonKotopo For me generally not, because that's more obviously different from bokmål than Danish is. (Because of bokmål ultimately being derived from 19th century Danish as opposed to constructed from scratch from study of the spoken dialects.) I find nynorsk significantly harder to read than bokmål, but not as hard as Swedish.

Danish can often feel as if I've just forgotten all the spellings—the words are familiar but look wrong. The visual equivalent of a strong accent.
