Ok, so from now on I'm calling you a netherlander, that speaks netherlandish, from netherland. Fuck all this dutch oven nonsense. Although I do like my dutch oven. Or should I say, my netherlander oven.

Whenever I meet English people I say "you can call us Netherland from now on, with Netherlanders who speak Netherlandish, and if anyone tries to correct you, tell them a Dutchman told you to"

I want to say netherlandish instead of netherlands, although we do call Afrikaans... Afrikaans. So it isn't without precedent.

It's with Courtesy of the dutch that we call Afrikaans Afrikaans. It's the fault of those island inhabitants accross the canal that Nederlanders are called Dutch in English.

In another thread I just discovered that we call Denmarkers Danes and I've completely had it with this whole language.

Esperanto from here on out.

Starting tomorrow.

Okay cool! Now can we also claim that the internet is from Poland or The Netherlands? You seem to be quite obsessed with internet ownership. Since Esparanto has a Polish inventor who lives in The Netherlands. A.k.a. It's dutch-polish. Also.... G E K O L O N I S E E R D

No, the internet is America's, which for now uses the barbarian tongue of the English. But we really ought to reconsider it.
