About English from the archive 1996

This web-site is written in Swedish and will probably not be translated to English in its whole.

The main reason to publish this site in Swedish instead of English is that this site should be more interesting to people in Sweden. Another reason is that when you use a language that you don’t completely master, things can go wrong.

Below you can read some examples of that.
