Frankly, I'd be more worried about the nameless horror inside fighting back, really

15:26
<@abudhabi>
What is it called when you press RAlt and you enter some kind of letter-assembling mode?
15:27
<@abudhabi>
Because I'd like to turn that thing off.
15:28
<@Tamber>
Compose?
15:28
<@abudhabi>
Specifically, I press ralt+semicolon and ralt+slash.
15:28
<@abudhabi>
I wanted to configure some proper Norwegian letters there.
15:28
<@abudhabi>
But they don't come up, except ø which I put under \|.
15:29
<@abudhabi>
No, wait, not semicolon, it was ralt+apostrophe.
15:29
<@Tamber>
I guess it depends on your current configuration, because I have my compose key bound to rwin; and right alt is a 3rd level shift (I think that's the phrase for it.) that lets me get characters like â¬
15:30
<@abudhabi>
I've got the compose key as "-", meaning turned off I hope.
15:31
<@abudhabi>
No, wait, it works%
15:31
<@abudhabi>
I think.
15:31
<@gnolam>
Tamber: i.e. a proper Alt Gr!
15:32
<@Tamber>
:)
15:32
<@abudhabi>
Hm. Right, I've got proper æÃøÃåà but now the other keys are all weird.
15:32
<@Tamber>
gnolam, well, that's what's printed on the key, so I might as well use it for that, right?
15:33
<@abudhabi>
Like the number bar is all like: &[{}(=*)+] without shift and %753190246 with shift.
15:34
<@Tamber>
whoopsies.
15:35
<@abudhabi>
Any resemblance to any layout you know of?
15:35
<@abudhabi>
Or is it just a damn bug?
15:35
<@gnolam>
abudhabi: ah, /Reverse/ Polish Dvorak. ;-)
15:35
<@Tamber>
Inverse Reverse Polish Dvorak.
15:36
<@Tamber>
One might even say perverse inverse reverse Polish Dvorak...
15:36
<@abudhabi>
The letters are just fine, so's the numpad.
15:36
<@abudhabi>
Just the number bar is all screwed.
15:37
<@gnolam>
abudhabi: OT: how much Norwegian do you speak now?
15:37

it's not called Norsk?

<@ErikMesoy>
There are two languages in Norway called Norsk nynorsk and Norsk bokmål.
15:46
<@ErikMesoy>
Bokmål is basically "Danish, but we don't eat half the words, and we find-and-replaced some letters like K for G, T for D."
15:46
<@ErikMesoy>
Nynorsk is basically "Whatever dialects we can find that aren't Danish, glued together."
15:47
<@Tamber>
XD
15:48
<@ErikMesoy>
An indication of the sheer level of gluing-together without standardization anywhere is the fact that "Hvordan", "Korleis" and "Ãssen" are all considered legitimate dialectical forms of the same Norwegian word.
15:49
<@gnolam>
And there's what my relatives speak, which is just "gibberish". :P

"...har tykk l i ord med historisk l, kløyvd infinitiv, jamvekt med varierande grad av vokaljamning, en del apokope, ulik bøying av sterke og svake hunkjønnsord, en del palatalisering i trykktung og (oftest) trykklett staving, kjønnsdelte adjektiv, og dativ"
15:55
<@ErikMesoy>
This is norwegian (nynorsk) wikipedia on nordmøre. You may recognize grammatical terms like "infinitive" and "dative" that do not need translation; the rest does not need translation either because it doesn't help any :V
