Summary:

A collection of a hundred diverse episodes about the Icelandic language in the 21st century.The topics of discussion range from fiery language mistakes to discussions about the challenges we face in the 21st century, for example, standards in language cultivation, social and technological changes, and gender issues and gender neutrality in language. However, the main thread of Eirík's discussion is based on the value of language in our culture, that the language is for all of us, not a select few, and the need for discussion about language to be positive and tolerant. This book makes readers think about the language, its status and future and promotes a positive attitude towards Icelandic.
