And I want to know how to earn those points you need for OP battles. How does that work? Talm?

Wow. I think I have 100 posts already in this thread.

So now on top of cranky, I'm grumpy. The bank just charged me $6.00 to cash a payroll check drawn on their bank!

I live in the netherlands, where right now its 20:32 or 8:32 PM.

Another Dutch person.

 

Leuk dat ik niet de enige ben hier.

Translation: Great that I'm not the only one here.

meh I speak Afrikaans, which is basically what happens when you try to teach dutch to a whole bunch of people who can't speak it

I know. It is so much like Dutch, that I can easily read it. And this means you're from South Africa?

powers of deduction are yours, yes I am, but wikipedia is right when they say the reverse isn't that true, dutch is a bit difficult for me, a fluent afrikaner, to figure out

Maybe Afrikaans is easier for people who speak Dutch, than Dutch for people who speak Afrikaans. I think Afrikaans is more simplified.

well it is the spelling is phonetic and one object = on word e.g Tweebuffelsmeteenskootmorsdoodgeskietfontein (name of a farm meaning (Two buffalo killed with one shot [and a fountain in there, that happens a lot])

This language was taught to Malay slaves and it had to be dumbed down, not because the slaves were dumb, but because it would just have been hard for them to understand a European language

Omfg more nederfags here (is that allowed to say here?)

If not then sorry

If it is, then no sorry

Now I have to decide to play either RUSE of BC2

RUSE is imo one of the best RTSs around here

And BC2, who doesnt know that?

Me. And what does nederfag mean?

O, and that word is impressive.

In Dutch you don't have such words.

Not if you want that the spelling checker knows it.

And not in names.

Except for one city name:

 

*looks it up*

 

Westerhaar-Vriezenveensewijk

Sorry, village name. There live less than 5000 people over there.

But that other one was even longer.
