this lovely Finnish choral work captures most of the problems discussed in Ehell quite
nicely

I LOVE it!  Being half Finnish I wondered if the English subtitles were really what they were saying, and listened for the only two Finn words I know that they said (toilet and the sh_ _ word) but couldn't catch them.  When a girl from Finland started work where I was employed it happened to be her birthday just a day or two later and we gave her a little party.  I made her a card from me that said, "Happy Hoosika!"  When she read it we both started cracking up laughing because that's the phonetic spelling for the word 'toilet' in Finn.  Lucky she had a sense of humor and didn't report me to Etiquette Hell.  Other people at work knew how far out in left field I could get and forgave me for it, but she didn't know me, at all, except that we were sisters in our blood.
I've never knitted anything I could recognize when it was finished.  Actually, I've never finished anything, much to my family's relief.
