Internet

Firefox's language can be changed to Icelandic, which is where all these words are from. You can also download an "add-on" that is an Icelandic spell-checker for when using Firefox. If you have a Mac you can download "Adium" as an instant messaging client and the language for that can change to Icelandic if you change your computer settings to Icelandic. You can change your keyboard layout to Icelandic too.
