    Default Re: Stupid Names

    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.

    I knew two americans in the US with the name Schuyler and they pronounced it differently. First was S-K-Y-L-E-R and the other SHOO-Y-LER . Both would get offended if I pronounced it the "wrong" way (of course they both massacred my arabic-origin name as well )

    Thumbs up Re: Stupid Names

    I can't resist to replying (again).

    In my very humble opinion, the second guy's name gets closest to how it should be pronounced in Dutch.
