how do I do that, Johan? Please help.
Tina Vonhof (X) Jun 29, 2006:

Johan Venter Jun 29, 2006:
Just ask one of the moderators to correct this for you
sparow (asker) Jun 29, 2006:
please forgive me I meant to select Tina's answer. I can't seem to get the hang of this thing. I actually used Dutch to the core in the end, but would have preferred Dutch through and through

Our ethnic counterparts have Dutch names, Dutch words, and look as Dutch as can be. Part of the explanation for this is that about 70% percent of the Dutch people marry each other, thanks to the Reformed schools and Calvin College.

Looking down from the dike on these reedlands with small lakes between them, there's a lot to appreciate. It is in essence as Dutch as can be.
