A Troublesome People
Tuesday, 17 January 2012Dutch would be clear English if it were properly spelt. For example,learn-masterwould be seen at once to be teacher; but they will spell itleermeester.Of thesethey write asvan deze;windowthey makeweduwe. All this is plain to me, who never saw a Dutch dictionary in my life; but many of their misspellings are quite unconquerable.
