Are journalists no longer allowed to use finge or vore? Are you allowed to write shall or must you write shall? I am 77 and I can say with today’s parlance that it makes me “uncomfortable”.
Lars Gustafson
Hey Lars! There are no prohibitions, but we have written rules to adhere to. What kind of rules you have probably look a little different at different newsrooms, depending on the audience and area. In personal columns or columns, the space is generally greater for a more personal address and choice of words. The absolute most important thing for us at Aftonbladet, which has a large and wide audience, is that as many people as possible understand, there I can imagine that the word finge, even if it is nice, can be a bit difficult for certain target groups.
