 I know and I donnot make a big point of it. And in previous centuries Holland
 was more prolific than the rest of the country.

 ak> Probably as you think that all

 Even worse, in the past we called, all inhabitants of the USSR, Russians.

 ak> PS: I can add that in the Russian language a woman can marry only a

 ak> variant of the verb. But in English there is no difference who marries

 ak> verb and my words in Russian were unclear.

 I know ther are always difficulties when you want to translate from one
 language to another. The meaning of words never overlap 100%.

 Often this leads to severe misunderstandings.
