Your grip on English is worse than Bj”rn's - he doesn't claim that English is
his first language either. How does one win "a noisy and overexcited reaction
or response to something"?

Only to those who recognise him as such. To the rest, Bj”rn wears the moderator
hat.

No amount of denial and sticking your head in the sand will change that.

Remember that English is not his first language - he was mistaken if he called
it that.

 AI> and that is what it is/was.

Not according to any mainstream English definition of the word (even when its
origins are French).

 AI> Nothing to do with Z1 at all, not even a moderator from Z1.

Correct - we now have one from Z2 - Sweden.

The noisy and overexcited reaction to the election most certainly came from Z1.
