    • 2002, Poul-Henning Kamp, “Rethinking /dev and devices in the UNIX kernel”, in Proceedings of BSDCon‎:
      Many thanks to the people who took time to help me stamp out “Danglish” through their reviews and comments: Chris Demetriou, Paul Richards, Brian Somers, Nik Clayton, and Hanne Munkholm. Any remaining insults to proper use of english language are my own fault.

    • 2018 April 22, May-Lin Demetriou, “Do Danish people who speak English think in Danglish?”, in Quora‎:
      I generally try not to speak Danglish (except with my husband, then everything goes. We even throw in a bit of German). Still, it does happen occasionally, if I can’t remember a word, if the person I’m speaking to understands the other language and there’s better word for something, such as “procrastination” in English or “overskudsmenneske” in Danish.
