As a Swede that has visited Norway probably 60+ times (I've worked for norwegian companies since 2004 - cause oil money) I have noticed they have an affinity to reuse English words for different purposes, sort of like the germans.
I also get the impression that their vocabulary changes quicker than that of most other countries, perhaps due to the small size of the population.

For example a Dane would "download" a file, while a Norwegian would "laste ned" (literally "load down") the file.
