*map please* I need to see Kelly and show her around :)

don't worry, I was confusing Austria with Australia











when i was 7 ;)

They are confusing the word deutsch. My entire cultural group back in the States (Pennsylvania Dutch) is plauged by that confusion. We know we are German based but the name (rightfully) confuses others.

lol yeah whoever made that dutch deutsch story is laughing right now.

It is confusing I agree, must admit I dont even know what the PA Dutch speak is it German or some slang?

I used to confuse dutch and deutsch in my first year of english practice... I was 8 or 9 maybe

Imho its one big mess, I mean we have Dutch Deutsch and Holland The Netherlands and a lot of other jibberish as well.

Last week USPS send all our new model lingerie to the Netherlands Antilles (Caribbean), they thought (I found out later) that it was a small island on top of the Netherlands :) We got those but believe me the Caribbean is not on top of the Netherlands.

What a mess for a 250sq mile country :1orglaugh

it is a form of German.

i hate it when peeps mix up holland with germany.. the language is so different, no offense but i can hardly watch german television.. especially german girls, they always have this annoying loud yell voice, terrible!

Sweden + Switzerland = same to many

probably only to US heads who dont have a clue once it comes to topography... mixing up sweden with switzerland is like mixing up iraq with th US :Oh crap
