Did you know nightspore, that in Holland we have spellingrules that change yearly? That is very annoying because one year it's paardebloem and the next year it can be paardenbloem. The dutch also like to put je behind everything. Je is what you put behind a word to make it little, like meisje meaning little girl.
But this can apply to almost everything, even things that are big.
We can also have ue in s word but I only know one example. That is distrubueren, meaning to distribute. The only dutch painter I really like is Jacob van Ruysdael.

Hi HR, no I didn't know that. Actually, I think that's very interesting. Do you know of a web site or web reference that talks about this (preferably not in Dutch)? I'd like read some more about it.
