Is there really such a word as "amortization"
I decided to use the http://www-lexikon.nada.kth.se/skolverket/sve-eng.shtml web page to look up the Swedish / Norwegian word "amortering" to English. An "amortering" is what you get from the bank when you buy a house. The bank lends you the money and you pay back interest for the rest of your life.
According to the Royal Technical High-School "amortering" is defined as:
"Repayment by instalments, amortization; payment, instalment".
So what the heck happened to "mortgage"? Is mortgage still a valid English word? Do Americans use another word instead of mortgage?

According to statistics, every fourth person is
stupid. This means that if the 3 people closest
to you are sane, then you should worry ;-)

Hi Lars,
At long last, someone who can explain to me. I have been looking for someone like you for ages.
