I would consider that /if/, as usual, it wasn't a one way street.

I have repeatedly asked the people that object to the use of
"USAian" to refrain from use the name "Holland" to
refer to my country as it is wrong.

But they refuse, among other things, on the ground thet they know better
how my country should be called than I do.

Cheers, Michiel
