That's true.
This reminds me of something my French teacher said.
- This sentence here has a mistake.
- Oh, that's bad.
- No, it's actually a good mistake.
- What? Why?
- Because it's the kind of mistake the French make themselves.
Icelanders sometimes confuse the verbs 'kveðja'
and 'kveða' - I think people especially don't
remember which of them can mean "summon".
So, it was a good mistake :)
Kveðja,
