Reply to comment by Spaceboot1 in $10 is the new $5. by hearsdemons
For the us it would be 1994…
I think people overestimate how much inflation we had the last couple of years, and think prices doubled in a few years.. they didn’t.. they doubled in 30 years.. which is not unusual

True, when reciting the alphabet. However, in my experience, when you're spelling something out people usually say iegrek or Griekse IJ.

but only for the special cases. When a Dutch persons says the alfabet, he/she will say "ij" (no idea what that is in English phonetic).

Reply to After about the first 17% of our lives, humans reach peak natural physical performance/potential (about age 17-18) and then the rest of our lives we degrade. But a deer for example can live to about 17.5 years and after 1st 25% (age 4-5) of their life they are beasts of max strength. by Charisma_Modifier
Sexual peak is late teens but strength is late 20s early 30s

Reply to Young generations tend to judge or pity for old generations but the fact is that the later are apparently happier, less anxious and more content with what they achieved or failed to. by red-ed

It has existed for a few hundred years at least. It's common in German, to which Swedish is closely related and we've swapped words with each other for a very long time.
Tho, it's not that common in modern day native Swedish words, no.
