Fortunately, modern browsers are smart enough to ignore these silly errors. XHTML is so anal retentive.

Whoa! Say, Phil, from where did you get that CS degree, again?

I think that she was quite correct when it comes to these Pappa Betalar/Grani types that “studerar vid Hanken och ska jobba pÃ¥ banken”. That just doesn’t describe the entire Swedish-speaking population. The coastal areas are full of regular farmers, fishermen etc. The Pappa Betalar-folks’ attitude towards these regular Swedish-speakers is equally condescending as towards Finnish-speakers. Also, the worst thing to be among the snobby Bättre Folk is to be a Swedish-speaker from Ostrobothnia. An acquaintance of mine once told me how the CO yelled “Är ni frÃ¥n Österbotten?” (Are you from Ostrobothnia?) at the top of his lungs when he fucked up with his rifle on the shooting range while serving in Dragsvik.
Of course, there are regular Swedish-speakers in Helsinki as well. Phil’s only true love is a Swedish-speaker from Kontula, hardly an upscale neighbourhood. Perhaps that explains why she’s so fucked up.
