Amazing, never knew that americans have names for their way of speaking. Stupid, because in a small country like Holland with only 17 mil people, we have fellow dutchmen I can't understand when they speak their native dialect. My best friend speakes a fully different language (limburgs) that is totaly alien to me, I lived in Friesland where they actualy speak a Fries, an officialy accepted language in Holland. The Frisian authorities are legaly bound to publish everything in two languages.

About Me

My photo
Well past (by at least a decade) the half century mark. One foot in the grave, the other on a banana peel at the rim of the abyss and the view from here is disconcerting. I am a former student, pearl diver, cook, truck driver, firefighter, EMT, CEO, Town Fire Warden, mechanic, oiler, marine engineer and computer whiz bang. Mostly I sleep these days in an aluminum tube. And So It Goes... I waste my time reading blogs and kvetching about the weather, playing with our Schipperke sidekick, Ignatz McGraw and waiting hand by foot upon my wife, the Queen of our Hovel, She Who Must Be Obeyed (SWMBO).
