<div id="ygrps-yiv-1649888718"><blockquote><span title="ireply">&gt;From: &quot;Harry<br/>
&gt;Holland is only a part of The Netherlands.<br/>
&gt;Isn&#39;t it strange that Holland is more used than the proper name?<br/>
&gt;I wouldn&#39;t be surprised if more people in the world know Holland better <br/>
&gt;than<br/>
&gt;The Netherlands.<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>yes<br/>
right<br/>
i wouldve preferred holland because it uses fewer keystrokes<br/>
but i agree correctness is better than brevity<br/>
<br/>
for me the really strange part about the word netherlands<br/>
  tho not the country the netherlands<br/>
is the austrian netherlands<br/>
<br/>
like that sounds as weird to me as the tibetan riviera<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt;Further, why do they call a Netherlander a Dutchman??<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>i think only because they are anglo & confused about who the dutch are & who <br/>
the germans are<br/>
<br/>
this mistake is perhaps most common in pennsylvania<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt;To take it even further; our country is called Nederland, so why should it<br/>
&gt;be translated???<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>precisely<br/>
& now if i say nederland<br/>
then i can still save some keystrokes<br/>
can avoid any possible confusion<br/>
& can also be impeccably correct all at once<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt;Btw I&#39;am not a chauvinist.<br/>
 </span></blockquote>thats obvious<br/>
chauvin was a jerk anyway<br/>
i am an everyonese terraist myself<br/>
m<br/>
