 An opinion poll in 1946 showed that 79% of all Norwegians favored the formation of "samnorsk", setting further back the cause of the purists who favored the traditional landsmål forms.On the other side of the issue, the poet Arnulf Øverland galvanized Riksmålsforbundet in opposition not to nynorsk, which he respected, but against the radical bokmål recommended by the 1938 reforms.Their efforts were particularly noted in Oslo, where the school board had decided to make radical forms of bokmål the norm in 1939 ("Oslo-vedtaket").
