So the Danish Redditers have SMONs instead of AMAs?

I guess it would be SMON, maybe SMONer to be consistent.

Something and anything do have different meanings. Not in all scenarios, sure, but here's an example: "The correct answer is something" cannot be "the correct answer is anything". Does anyone know how the Danes work around this, or is it actually not a problem in practice, and they make it work in the same way that English 'gets by' with "you" for both singular and plural, subject and object!

As far as I know "noget" means "something" and "noget som helst" means "anything", I don't know if you can use "noget" for "anything".
