Yes, I know. Like in many other countries, it seems to be "trendy" to use English in all kinds of marketing.
It has gone so far that the "sale" posters which you will find in all sort of shops (especially clothes shops) every now and then, often aren't written in Norwegian any more, but in English. So what used to read "Salg" or "Tilbud" (meaning Sale or Special Offer) in Norwegian shop windows, now often reads "Sale" and "Final Sale" - just like that. So why is it that good Norwegian words and terms are being ditched for terms in a different language? Stupid, if you ask me, and it actually gets me quite worked up when I see it.
On the other hand, it was practical that they'd used English on this occasion, as it meant that I could post in on here for everyone to see and understand

I can feel a campaign coming on, why should you ditch your own language, yes English is widely spoken, but not the most used [?]
