    Aww. All the Swedes I have met have been somewhat preternaturally nice people with somehow a better grasp of English than me.

      This made me remember a call I had with a American VIP at the company I worked at, he had put me on speaker as I helped him with his laptop while he was working at home, and his wife broke in at the end of the call complementing my English.

      They were both surprised to learn that I was Swedish since I have managed to train myself to loose much of the classic Swedish accent when speaking English.
