gamineNumber of messages: 4611 | Hej Pia. Well, it seemed to me that allegation would be better here. Let's ask WKN, he's on line

Please, wkn, can you help here.   CC: wkn | | |

wknNumber of messages: 332 | Re. my vote - both statement and allegation would be technically correct - I recommend statement as it seems less formal, and the "tone" of the Danish phrase is quite light, almost joking. |
