Everyone sucks speaking Dutch. Especially the Dutch. It's like listening to a drunk Englishman trying to speak German.

Ever heard Flemish? Not judging.....I have Basque friends here and that's pretty different, too. Heard Gaelic at Valentia Island, Ireland in 1998. It's rather different from English, my only language skill.

Mine is Heineken.I admit to having zero clues about the Dutch language, except for an ancestor of ours, who's last name was Hoogeboom.
So that's it, my one Dutch word

No, but a couple Frisians tried to prove that their language is incomprehensible. I'm convinced.

Back on topic, I have acquaintances from Australia and New Zealand and have learned not to confuse them. (They get very cross.)

I hear they speak English, too. Would love to meet them.
Glad to hear there's at least one educated person in the US.

A piquant view!
You're an American, so your opinion on this matter does not count after what you did to the English language.

I will have you know, my good fellow, that the Australians have done a great deal to alter the King's English.
Just because they include the extraneous vowel to occasional words does not exempt them from scrutiny!

Well, I was actually thinking of Ozzy Man (and his glorious"reviews"), but since you mentioned it...

It needed fixin'.
And considering many foreigners speak better English than many Americans, especially when you get out into the sticks (I think I hear banjos playing), or deep into the cities.
Sorry, it's a fact, we Americans butcher the English language in so many ways. I need a translator sometimes.

Rubbish! We merely pronounce it as written. properly leaving out the unneeded extra vowels. What we do with it after leaving school has to do with our freedom.

If the English would stop putting an extra "U" in every other word, printing presses would stop contributing to global warming.
Our poor Slavic friends have to keep putting 10 extra consonants in every word because the English keep hogging all of them.

Blame the Normans. They imported all those superfluous vowels from France.
