  • @r00key It's HOLLAND! PERIOD.

  • @r00key nou oke dan ;)

  • @petrovahair

    Just making conversation and voicing my opinion. :)

  • @r00key I'm not sure why you're telling me this? I'm Dutch too, I don't have a problem with saying Holland when I'm abroad, because I honestly don't care that much but... I'm still not sure why you're telling me this.

  • @petrovahair

    I'm Dutch and I live in 'the Netherlands though I do not live in either one of the provinces of "Holland". I hate it when people call my country "Holland". I also dislike the term "the Netherlands" because the Netherlands have been unified as the Kingdom of the Netherlands (a united kingdom of the nether-lands), and since then we call our country "Nederland" which is SINGULAR. So I think the name of our country should be SINGULAR in other languages as well. --> "Netherland"

  • @NewYorkFlavour I meant dude more in the sense of 'duuuude' rather than 'friend', but hey ho. And shit me, I got my own nationality wrong, I've been Belgian all my life without knowing it!

  • @petrovahair Don't call me "dude", I'm not your friend. And something tells me you must be Belgian, you're quite conceited for being a Dutchman.

  • @NewYorkFlavour Dude, I just pointed out that I'm Dutch and that it's annoying when people like yourself pretend to know what people like me think. Apparently makes me the keyboard warrior? Right. Also, as a qualified linguist I wouldn't exactly call myself *pseudo*-intellectual...

  • @petrovahair *sigh* another pseudo-intellectual keyboard warrior wasting my time

  • @NewYorkFlavour if you were to ask this Dutch person about the quickest way to annoy any Dutch person right now, my answer would be... The quickest way to annoy any Dutch person would be pretending that you know what the quickest way to annoy any Dutch person is. But luckily you didn't ask, and one mustn't generalise.
