#introduction in English
I am a #linguist working with language technology. I am also a freelance lexicographer, an amateur typographer, and a tenor in a choir.
I am based in Copenhagen, where I live with my wife and two kids. Nice to meet you!

Not sure folk are aware that using Google fonts by URL in their CSS undermines the privacy of each and every site visitor, sending their IP to GG with every visit. How? Because with each visit they download the font from GG, not your server.
If you will use GG fonts, don't do this
@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=FontName[...]
Download that font, and resource it locally instead
@font-face {
font-family: FontName';
font-style: normal;
src: url('../fonts/FontName.woff2');
[...]
}
Blev fanget af ordspillet med John Mogensen-referencen, som går godt i spænd med Dybbøl Mølle. Og ved andet øjekast slog det mig, at citationstegnene er en slags hybrid mellem ottendedelsnoder (🎵) og store dekorative citationstegn (❞). Ny tegnsætning specifikt til at citere lyrik? Jeg er fan!
Alt i alt meget god sproglig og visuel kommunikation i denne annonce.
Linguist, lexicographer, language technologist, and typographer.
