how come no anglos spell it blohaj? do they just not know how to say it or are they just complicit with swedens scam to hide their o over a useless a?

A lot of people legitimately don't know how to pronounce it, but it's not unusual to just drop the umlaut - see the instance name for the 196 community for example. I honestly think I agree with you, but I don't care enough to fight that uphill battle.
