This would actually apply to anyone that has
knowledge of Swedish I suppose.
At this past
weekend's ACF Regionals, there was a question on Queen
Christina of Sweden (The one after Gustavus Adolphus). One
of the member of the opposing team gave the answer
of "Christiana" (probably Christiania, the old name
of Oslo, Norway)and got a neg five. They protested,
and the answer they gave was judged to be correct.
Today I looked at my Microsoft Encarta and
www.encyclopediabritanica.com and neither gave Christiania as an acceptable
answer, they only gave Kristina as the Swedish spelling.
My question is: Is Christiania an acceptable answer?
This would really help me out, and I appreciate
answers.
