LG is not dutch.

He'd be the guy who would put his finger in the dike to save us, and then ask someone else to pull said finger.

We'd be dead by Tuesday

I'm American. Probably the best place for me. Uptight enough to be freaked out by my antics, and free enough for me to get away with it(mostly).

Isn't it 500 pages?

Then only the first 'e' is left. Pronounce it like the 'e' in 'ten'.

Then why is there a bloody "w" there if we're just to mute it? Is it part of the "erwt"/"erwten"?

I guess it has to do with etymology.

We don't usually have mute Ws. This is actually the only instance that I can think of :unsure:

This raises a good point. Has anyone ever seen a Dutch person with his/her jimmies unrustled? Besides Geert Wilders?

What does Snert mean then? Does Erwtensoep literally mean Pea Soup?

Yes, erwtensoep does literally mean pea soup. Snert is the more informal word used for this specific soup.

That's the moment we lock the thread usually, yes.

It's not a hard rule though, if a thread ends up at 501,502 or so, it's not the end of the world. The limit is arbitrary and mostly for technical reasons. Somewhere between 500 and 1000 it puts a lot of strain on the server.

I timed the last post perfectly though...
