Same for norwegian

• teekert 3y ago
  We have a website for this (pretty low key, but fun) [0]. Sometimes adding a space changes the meaning of a sentence, and sometimes in a funny way. Like, "weekbroodje" is sandwich of the week, but "week broodje" is a mushy sandwich. Maybe it's because "week" can be "week" or "mushy". The same happens for "Corona cases", which, in Dutch with a space (Corona gevallen) means "Corona fell", the proper way is "Coronagevallen". Usually it is clear what is meant from context but a sentence that starts out the wrong way can trip you up for a moment. Almost all spell checkers will split these examples so it's really changing our language. I have considered filing a bug with Apple because I mostly notice it on my iPhone. Perhaps it's already to late, wrong space use is very pervasive nowadays. [0] https://www.spatiegebruik.nl/ https://www.spatiegebruik.nl/
