I almost cried. Beautiful.

One of my favorite music videos. Very powerful.


(p.s. Sigur Ros puts on a great show, if you get a chance to see them. Quite an experience.)

It's actually 'Down's Syndrome'. As in Dr John Langdon Down.

nope ... its commonly written out as "Down" in the US of A and Austrailia, and "Down's" in the UK.

just has to do with the repetitive "s"

be sure to check out sigur ros's other videos, they're great.

I'm aware the condition is refered to as 'Down Syndrome' in the US, and 'Down's Syndrome' practically everywhere else English is spoken. There could be an interesting reason for the transferal from 'Down's' to 'Down'.* This particular USian convention, I would argue, does a disservice to past discoverers who had been rightly honoured for their work. Taxonomical, geographic, medical, astronomical, protocol should be maintained in this spirit of homage.

The USian linguistic convention of dropping the 's' in 'Asperger's' is not the same animal. It's a predictable habit of speech, which gets transfered to the written language, wherever one 's' is directly adjacent to another. Over time it has been transcribed the way it is (mis)heard, and has entered common usage this way.
