In Sweden, February has the nickname vabruari – vab is short for vård av (sjukt) barn, 'care of (sick) child', the term you use when you have to stay home from work to take care of your sick child.
Because of the climate, February tends to be the month when diseases (esp. various kinds of the flu) hit the hardest.

Just in case anyone else was disappointed to see that the short news break no longer existed.

In Norwegian like is liker - very easy and you can usually just put not (ikke - not inte) behind liker.

It's actually in the Time skill, but there's a bug or possibly an A/B test that makes sentences pop up randomly.
