Finnish Aku Ankka was even awarded for it's good grammar and language. AA 
got "Kielihelmi" award from Helsinki University's Department of Finnish 
Language.
Most of the characters do speak very good language, something that nobody 
would use, only if jokingly. Aku Ankka's language is pretty rich, they use 
also some slang, dropped with consideration in between the proper sentences. 
It's also quite witty, lots of alliterations, synonyms, puns.. Sometimes 
this goes exaggerated. Most of the time it's OK, but... when they got *too* 
witty it's quite exhausting. Then me no like.:-)
