Norwegian Word Play (Part I of II)
I’ve heard it said that you don’t really know a language until you get the jokes. This is particularly true with Norwegian, where so many of the jokes rely on clever word play and puns. I see no reason, however, why you can’t learn language through the study of word play. Not only are jokes a fun way to approach language learning, they’re also chock-full of cultural information and can make great conversation starters (so long as you watch who you’re talking to).

Language "Deviances/Delays" vs Language "Differences"
Not all language and speech "errors" are "errors". Sometimes people, because of their social/cultural, dialectal or ethnic background, may seem to have big problems speaking. This is not always the case. Data has been collected for many different ethnicities and some of these "problems" are really normal to them as they learn to use the English language more proficiently. Hence, they are labeled differences and not delays.
