Don't worry about it, sir.

Half of learning a different language is CONFIDENCE.

As for spelling, it seems 67% of American members of Free Republic have to use "spellcheck."

No big deal; just feel free to say your piece, because we want to hear it, especially from authentic Norwegians in Norway.

the first person who criticizes their spelling or their grammar, well, I will take him and tie him to the back of a bison, just to see what happens.

Good for you! People need to be able to communicate w/o fear.

Hej to the list.

"Hej" sounds, uh, Moslem to me.

Am I missing something?

'Hej' is hello in Danish, which is as close as I get to Norwegian. It's pronounced 'hi.'

I think you're thinking 'haj,' which is muslim.

Yeah, I was, then I figured you were playing with me, intentionally misspelling a word, just so some American member of Free Republic would jump on you for misspelling a word, after which you would get to see me tie him to the back of a bison, and we both would watch to see what happens.
