As an aside:

This is an amusing little program that guesses what language a short text is
written in.  It does it quite well, all my purposefully badly written Finnish
was recognized among other attempts to confuse the program.

Only it tends to insult Dutch and Danish speakers.  When I type in complete
gobbledygook by just randomly hitting keys on my keyboard it tends to guess
either Danish or Dutch.  What a rude program!
