Ö is more commonly used in handwriting than in digital, print or typewriting. It's especially common among older people (50+), not sure why.
Ø is the official Norwegian character, and is therefore an own character on our keyboards, and is the character taught in school.
In Norwegian Ö is often not even considered an own character but a different glyph of Ø, which is not strictly correct.

Haha, I wasn't asking. I was explaining. I know exactly who Röyksopp are.Sardtok wrote:Two guys from northern Norway (Tromsø), I used to think they were from Bergen, but that's just where they formed the band.Jasoco wrote:Who are Röyksopp?.
And yes, they spell it ö, in Norwegian you can use either ø or ö for the same sound, but the phonetic alphabet uses ø.
Ö is more common in handwriting, since it's not the official character, and because we have an own key for ø.

If you use a question as a header, you need to actually answer it in the text. Not just refer to their work.Jasoco wrote:Haha, I wasn't asking. I was explaining.

Their work does not define them, they define their work.

Are you perhaps danish?
Re: Unnecessary use of the umlaut
Are you perhaps unable to read dates?
Do you recognise when the world won't stop for you? Or when the days don't care what you've got to do? When the weight's too tough to lift up, what do you? Don't let them choose for you, that's on you.
