First name only
Learned a new thing the other day. Do you know a phone book that is sorted by first names only? Nah, didn't think so. Well, Iceland's phone book does. How weird is that?
"In Iceland, directories such as the telephone directory are alphabetised by first name rather than surname."
Think ze Swiss have a lot to learn in terms of using first names, instead of the formal "Sie".
