In the shiny new tradition of The SciFi Channel, the folks at Tor.com have decided to change their name. Do read the comments that follow, too. I particularly liked the cease and desist order from the state attorney of the Kingdom of Sweden.

And speaking of Swedish and SyFy, have you noticed the way the new name makes it look like someone reviling the unpleasantness of sewing? Yes, only two or three of my readers will get that one. Suck it, anglophones.

Ha! Så illa var det aldrig hos oss, men jag har nog gott miste om blod, svett, och tårar med morsans symaskin. Det var en Husqvarna, men den tyckde inte om mej.

LOL! I knew I hated SyFy but hadn't considered the implications på svenska. ;)

Truthfully, neither had I until I was reading the comment thread to the post linked above. It was being already in a mindset where the Royal Kingdom of Sweden owns the rights to all umlaut usage that made me look at SyFy with new i's eyes.
