Ingen orsak! I'm enough un-Swedish to be openly annoyed by impassive
Swedishness, but I do think that many people are secretly annoyed by it too.
What really annoys me is when I meet British people and they get annoyed by
my Americanoid English accent. It's like I feel obliged to apologize for
the fact that my grandmother had actually lived in Chicago and that I
picked up my accent from her!
