An "under-the-covers" investigation of the strong, silent, nordic type
As a native english speaker, Å. Ä, and Ö don't have much meaning for me, other than the fact that they are regular A and O's with funny dots over them. When necessasry, I pay attention to them, but most of the time, I just ignore them. It really doesn't make much difference to the word I hear/see in my head.

Kommissarie F. Curiosa is a female detective in her mid-twenties delving into the baffling yet somehow tantalizing mystery of the Swedish male in Sweden's chilly capital city. She's a modern-day Mata Hari, infiltrating the grisly underworld of dating in a foreign country.
During the course of her investigation, Curiosa discovered that blogs about dating are an excellent way to get dates. Of course, none of her dates were actually with the strong, silent, Nordic type. Her romantic attention was soon captivated to a fellow expat blogger, who took the interesting and unconventional approach of writing odes to Ullrick. Turns out, the way to a girl's heart is through her cat.
This resulted in a suspension of Curiosa's investigation of the strong, silent Nordic type, but not to fear, her new relationship provides plenty of 'blog fodder', much to the dismay of her significant other.

Well Curiosa, how do you like the swedish name Gun.
That´s especially nice in combination with the last name Hellsvik which a former swedish politician is named.
Those are such annoying letters! My Swedish friends will let me get away with putting a's instead of å's. But I think å's are more like o's. I get laughed at if I start replacing my å's with o's. That almost made sense? (not to mention the fact that it really changes the meaning of some words)
"Tröjan!", that's what my momma said I had to put on if I were going out...
Curiosa, just curious ... how did you know that I referred to your blog from mine? Great blog btw ... and I'm still waiting for the solutions ;)
English-speakers who see åäö as a's and o's with dots instead of letters in their own right annoy me. I am a total hypocrite though, because I find it hard to distinguish between e and è and é in French, and it messes up my pronunciation.
