Examples

“We have⟳ our languages, our identity and our culture, and we prefer⟳ to muddle through by speaking some sort⟳ of “Swenglish”, “Danglish” or even “Finnlandic” with each other during the breaks and at dinner.”

“Many thanks to the people who took time to help⟳ me stamp⟳ out “Danglish” through their reviews and comments: Chris Demetriou, Paul Richards, Brian Somers, Nik Clayton, and Hanne Munkholm. Any remaining insults to proper use⟳ of english language are my own⟳ fault.”

“I generally try⟳ not to speak⟳ Danglish (except with my husband, then everything goes. We even throw⟳ in a bit of German). Still, it does happen⟳ occasionally, if I can’t remember⟳ a word, if the person I’m speaking to understands the other language and there’s better word for something, such as “procrastination” in English or “overskudsmenneske” in Danish.”

“For we learn⟳ from the Illustrated Inventor, that Dr. Danglish, of Great Malvern, in England, has patented an improvement on the preparation of dough”
