And this is some sort of new revelation? Are these Dutch folks named Rip Van Winkle?
Dutch is the adjective for things from the Netherlands, and also the demonym for people from there. The demonym for Denmark is Dane and the adjective is Danish.
My bad. Are these Danes named Rip Van Winkle?
I doubt it; it would be odd if they were named after a fictional Dutch-American :)
confusing the Dutch and the Danes is funny though you shouldn't have corrected them
espcecially when those are fake countries. There is nothing in common between a limburger, a frisian and a zeelander. Totally different tribes.
the correct spelling is zealand
this makes the joke 10x funnier
are you sure?
fair point, i'll try to refrain from it next time
What other US allies have stated this officially? Denmark is ahead of the curve.
America has been asserting its will be throwing around their economic might for decades, as long as I can remember. It's nothing new.
