Thread:User talk:CodeCat/Regarding tjue Norwegian/reply (2)

People do use it, that is why I did not use obsolete. The reform was implemented by force and random controls were even carried out to ensure that telephone operators obeyed the new rules. Spell checkers do not consider tyve to be correct and a teacher would correct it to tjue. Because of that I feel it would be the best to somehow mark the word as incorrect.

As a native speaker I would definitely not consider it a neutral term if used consistently by a younger speaker. Tyve is used in the unofficial Riksmål orthography, which is used by people who reject the reforms of 1917 (partially), 1938, 1951, 1959, 1981 and 2005 for political reasons.
