Hi Ændr!
Making an Æ on a keyboard is exceedingly simple -- just press the Æ-key. Yes!
Ok - requires that you have a Danish keyboard, but that's the normal around here
A bit of useless trivia: Ændr, I would reckon, is the imperative of the Danish verb "at ændre", which means "to change"...
BTW, there's more to learn about Danish letters at http://www.h2g2.com/A292682...
And for hats: I'm envious! I only have one, which I dearly love and use very regularily. I have been searching high and low for a summer hat to fall in my taste -- but the only one I did spot was a real Panama, which fell outside of my financial abilities for haths at the time...
I have made it as a part of my image, though At a recent party, everyone had to guess which sentence on a list was meant for whom. And about 25% of the people there instantly pegged me for "often seen in the forest with dog and wearing his hat..."
So there's hope, I guess...

cool, that's an idea, I should get a Danish keyboard. Pity I don't speak any Danish though. Expet I've now learnt a bit of one verb. Interesting info, and not a bad choice of words - thre's always the fear that a nickname means something awful in another language!
So, is the pronunciation any different?
Oh good. I'm pretty defined by hats too, but it is getting to the extreme that I don't not wear hats.
Have you thought about saving up for a Panama? being a fairly standard hat (over here) you'd be able to buy them for years to come.
Anyway, I'm off on holiday in an hour, so better go and pack.
Cheerio

Happy holidays (even if you only might see this upon your return)!
I'll have to wait another 3-4 hours before leaving for my vacation -- and we'll take off towards Sweden tomorrow...! Yippeee!
Best regards,
SG V
