    ...when you pronounce it in an Anglo-Dutch way, yes

    I just compared it to present-day Dutch (that weird language that I speak) and nowadays we pronounce your name as I tried to describe above.
    BTW it means something like "he who hides".

    PS. I don't want to argue about your name; I mean it's your name and I suppose *you* know how to pronounce it

    Isn't it pronounced "Skuiler" in dutch? Skyler sounds like de Achterhoek to me.

    Sheesh... I went to Eindhoven a few weeks ago and now I swear there are Dutch people everywhere. We had a lady from the Netherlands come to work a week or two ago, and that's rather odd, as I work at a drive in movie theatre in Indiana... then there's people speaking Dutch here... I find out one of my best friends just got a job in HOLLAND, Michigan...

    It's really starting to freak me out... the clogs, the clogs are everywhere!!!

    Seriously though, the people in der Koninkrijk der Nederlanden (if that's somehow wrong, I apoligize) seemed quite nice, though perhaps a bit over the top with the bicycle riding. As I was only there for a couple of days, I didn't really have a chance to see the country, but I'm sure it's nice as well.

    You can only post in the Entrance Hall and the fora dedicated to the STW/MTW mods as a junior member.
