Further on the topic of how words change: In swedish, we have lots of english loan words in our everyday vocabulary. (To the great dismay of some!) This has lead to the creation of the word "mejl", which comes from the swedish way of pronouncing email, where the "ai"-sound easily becomes a "ej"-sound, and later this has accentuated the prounciation of the word more and more. The word now is its own noun in our dictionary following the usual grammatical rules in swedish, for example: mejl - e-mail mejlet - the e-mail mejla - sending e-mail And it is also commonly used in compound words too. Like mejlkorg (e-mail bin), mejlkonversation (e-mail conversation), bluffmejl (hoax e-mail). I'm of the younger generation, and I quite like the way this works in swedish. "Mejl" to me seems like a thing in itself, rather than the two words electronic mail abbreviated.
