Since living in The Netherlands I’ve always called it The Netherlands or The Nederlands since Holland is only two provinces of The Netherlands.

It’s like when foreign people say English when they mean British.

Strange as I’m pedantic in some ways but couldn’t give a crap in other ways.

And you stop using uppercase altogether. Lol.

There are times I’m lazy but other times I just can’t be arsed to deal with the resulting fallout of correcting someone.

True dat.

Got a question for you mate.

I know you guys and gals are taught English from an early age, but are you taught British English or American English?

Computer English tends to be American (especially annoying when I tell my computer to use British, English but the favourites tab still has the ‘u’ missing) but I see some Dutch spelling most words the British way.

If you’re from Holland, can you convince people that makes you Hollandaise? Please try. And report back on your success.
