Per,
you don't understand at all. That's the problem. If you listen to a Radio
program from 1960's here in Sweden you will notice that if it's not a person
employed by Swedish Radio or a person from Stockholm - area there is a hugh
difference in expressions between 1960's and today.

But that has nothing to do with the KRS - discussion.
Present valid arguments or this discussion is off.
