'W' Gets Its Own Place in Swedish Language Sun Apr 23, 3:20 AM ET
STOCKHOLM, Sweden - The letter 'W' has entered the mainstream of the Swedish language, getting its own section for the first time in the country's most respected dictionary.
While 'W' has long been a letter in its own right in other Nordic languages, Swedish linguists have always viewed it as a lesser sibling of the letter 'V,' as the two letters are pronounced identically in Swedish.
The few Swedish words that use 'W' have generally been borrowed from other languages — such as "watt," "walkie-talkie" and the "World Wide Web" — and have so far always been lumped under the 'V' section in dictionaries.
Sweden is called "Sverige" in Swedish and its language is named "Svenska."
But the Swedish Academy, which awards the Nobel Prize in literature and whose members are considered the guardians of the Swedish language, decided it was time for 'W' to come out of the shadows.
The letter, called "double-v" in Swedish, "can no longer be sorted in under the single V," the academy said when it introduced the 13th edition of its dictionary this week.
The change means that the Swedish language, at least according to the academy, now has 29 letters instead of 28.

Yes yes, as usual, it's been awhile, but I'm still here! Sniffling, sneezing and wheezing my way through the spring in NC...it's all good though. Nothing much to report...basically I've been working and working and working some more and then sometimes doing the improv thing. Well more like every weekend doing the improv thing. At least I'm not really bored!Monday, February 20, 2006
I don't have a lot of interesting stuff to say, so I'll leave you with the results from a quiz! I found this amusing...it claims I'm emotionally unstable, I won't argue with that, so I guess watch out for me!

Happy President's Day! I was cheerfully reminded by someone who shall remain nameless that I haven't updated this thing in awhile. What else is new? So hello to all!
I just whacked about a foot off my head, and my head is so much lighter it's nuts! I was feeling rather bold, and sick of my hair getting completely matted to the point where I was spending two hours on weekends detangling it. So I found a hair place and let Jessica cut it off. Below you shall see the results...it's not the greatest picture by the way....
Okay I'm really not sure if that worked, so let me check....okay it did! My hair is not longer on one side although I know it looks like it. I just had my head tilted. But there are layers in it, long ones, but layers nonetheless...that's quite a step for me. I haven't had layers in my hair since I was about 10 years old and I had the Dorothy Hamill Haircut. Here are some more pictures for your viewing enjoyment...
Does anyone have any glue???
So yeah there I am, my long locks are no more, but they will be back next winter! There was one moment while she was cutting it where I felt myself panic and I about told her to glue them back on, but I got over it. I'm going to donate it, and hopefully it will make some child very happy. It's kind of weird to think that some kid may be running around with my hair on their head...hmmm...craziness.
So what else have been doing you ask? Well not a whole lot, I've been busy, but mostly with work. I did go back to KC last week though which was exciting! I went and stayed with my friend Peggy and her family. It was like I never left, and I felt like I had to drive back to Leavenworth at night, although that would have been hard without a car. It snowed a little which made me smile, and it was actually cold for part of the week! We stayed home for the most part, running errands here and there. There was the amusing incidents at Lowe's where Peggy was trying to pick out an area rug. But you really would have had to have been there. Between Kelly crawling up the scaffolding and the floor sales rep, the trip was a riot. Annie and I were trying to set Peggy and floor guy up, but in end I think he was actually gay...bummer. Most men just aren't that into lamps and rugs...at least none that I know. : ) The whole trip was a blast, and I found myself wondering if I should move back, but as I've told everyone...life is wonderful when you have absolutely no responsibilities. I did however run a slumber party for four girls between the ages of 12 and 15...that was an adventure. I have a hard time believing that I was ever that energetic, but I'm sure I was at some point. It was absolute craziness. Lots of giggling, running around, dressing up, makeup, it was a real slumber party. But everyone had to go to bed by midnight to which there was much rejoicing on my part.
So yeah if you want more details then you'll just have to call me. I'm back in the south waiting for winter to get here, although I'm afraid that it's already turning to spring. Life is pretty much the same, and if it changes I'll let you know!

Mo. Researchers Find Largest Prime Number By GARANCE BURKE, Associated Press Writer
Tue Jan 3, 10:09 PM ET
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Researchers at a Missouri university have identified the largest known prime number, officials said Tuesday.
The team at Central Missouri State University, led by associate dean Steven Boone and mathematics professor Curtis Cooper, found it in mid-December after programming 700 computers (There are children starving in Africa and these people acquired 700 computers????? Just to find the largest prime number?) years ago.
A prime number is a positive number divisible by only itself (thank you for the math lesson...) and 1 — 2, 3, 5, 7 and so on.
The number that the team found is 9.1 million digits long (really the point please...I'm waiting!). It is a Mersenne prime known as M30402457 — that's 2 to the 30,402,457th power minus 1 (Okay, today children we're going to start counting to M30402457, if we start now maybe your great great great to the M30402457th power grandchildren can finish for us!).
Mersenne primes are a special category expressed as 2 to the "p" power minus 1, in which "p" also is a prime number.
"We're super excited," (Yeah he was beaming...and jumping up and down like he had just won an all expenses paid trip to Mars...)said Boone, a chemistry professor. "We've been looking for such a number for a long time."
The discovery is affiliated with the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search, a global contest using volunteers who run software that searches for the largest Mersenne prime.
Okay...really is there any real scientific benefit to the world for this discovery? And if numbers are really infinite, why are we so excited about this one, since another 36 trillion numbers away is the next one perhaps a Z95666754321 or something....we need to find a cure for cancer amongst other things and there are people looking for some odd number...this is a crazy world we live in...
Today is my first normal day in over two weeks...it's been a little rough. I was home for Christmas, and then Ruthanne was here all week. It was so much fun! I need to have friends out here more often...wink wink nudge nudge....more later...need to go get screaming children...
