It´s never been policy (If someone told an Icelander how he should
talk, he would ignore it) but the language being the way it is,
foreign words seem out of place so people try to use Icelandic words,
foreign or new words that fit into the system of the language.
When we use computers we mostly use english however (the Icelandic
version of windows did not sell much)
