They should have one of you at every school. Then kids might be able to write properly.

And the teachers, too. 😀 One time in primary school I had to show the teacher the correct spelling of a word in the dictionary because he didn't believe me.

Oops. 😳 I didn't know it was a real name.

Lol. Education of primary teachers are lacking through out the world I guess. But Norvegian (or New-Norvegian) spelling is very, very strange, so I can understand the teacher.

We would all read it, though. At least just to see what kind of trouble poor Noodles would get herself into. Spelling this and that word to save lives.

It was in Germany. But I would say that Norwegian spelling (both bokmål and nynorsk, although I don't have much experience with the latter) is quite easy compared to German or English. But the Norwegians still manage to mess it up all the time. And I corrected my Norwegian teacher (in a class for immigrants) a few times, too, although I tried not to embarrass her too much, so I didn't mention all her mistakes.

Compared with, not compared to. 😏😏

Hmmm, according to my dictionary, both are possible. Is there any difference in the meaning?

PrivateMessage me if you are interested in allowing yourself to be quesitoned by me, on several connected topics...

Thanks but no thanks. The last time I was quesitoned I was ill for a month.

Being quesitonedis something that should only be undertaken by fully qualified, licenced, competent people.

Are you are licenced quesitoner as being quesitoned by unlicenced, unqualified, incompetent people can lead to serious illness for the quesitoned person.

Compare to means metaphorical similarity, such as comparing a voice to thunder. Compare with involves like kinds, such as comparing your chess ability with another player. Both are possible, but in this case only one is correct.
