Oh yeah, but the Dutch don't have nuclear warheads nor at least one handgun in every car on the road, nor can the Netherlands declare itself the country which all other countries revolve around, nor did the Netherlands win World War II single handedly like the USA did. Fact. Just read any American-published history book and they'll prove me right.

Just because the Dutch can speak better English than Americans doesn't mean Holland is the greatest country on earth, you know! The USA has exclusive Rights to that American fact-of-life, so stop picking on Americans, you bloody savage! 😡

@swirlie Oh all those things you mentioned as well. But it is a fact that dutch (and danish) syntax and grammar when speaking English make their conversational English a better quality English than most Americans speak..😷

Okay, but that would also make it impossible to make a Dutch country & western song if what you say is correct. You never thought about the fallout from that one now, did you?!

Yes, I believe it is Swedish! That guy speaks with the same dialect of English as I hear from my SW friend, SandWitch!
