    You mean, your dumping ground for educated, civilized people who often have pronunciation issues?

    (I feel the "Oh snap" is implied )

    Come back when you're either able to pronounce "Brugge" or to write it as pronounced...

    Back to the original topic: they told me to call them for questions about their honing services...(I guess they don't want to have to hone every razor they sell, just because I were to post it online....)

    That reminds me about that guy in temptation island who was named (or called himself) Gringo.


    Or the way he proncounced it: Hhrinho.
    I wonder how many around Brugge today would be able to pronounce 'Schild en Vriend' correctly these days.


    Just poking fun. I myself am from 'De Liiimbuuurg' although I have to admit that I speak rather clean 'Beschaafd Nederlands' due to the fact that my parents raised me in that tongue, and I went to college in Geel (Antwerpen) where the only way to be understood was to shed what accent I had left. There are people form my birthplace who went to college with me, whom I could barely understand because they only spoke our local dialect.

    I heard a story his parents wanted to name him Ringo, but something went wrong at the town hall
