Btw. Duncan was visiting a Swiss radio station (the biggest one to be exact) this afternoon. He also said something about (and towards) Luca Hänni. It coincidencally happened, that Luca heard that and actually answered him! I acoustically didn't understand too much, but they were so cute.  |

Huh I never mentioned North or south..... Holland =/= The Netherlands So Holland is split in North or south and the Netherlands is the whole? Totally confused |

Well like I said I thought Holland was the English word for the Netherlands. If I don't know that's not my fault but now I do I will use the proper name

It’s actually offensive to call The Netherlands Holland when you are not reffering to the two Holland provinces It depends of the language, because maybe in your language it’s Netherlands but if you translate it literally into Romanian it would be “Țările de Jos” which sounds kinda meh because it literally is “Countries from the Low”. Basically nobody uses this lmao. Instead the term which is being used is Olanda which is basically Holland. But seriously why would someone be offended because of that, it isn’t even a big issue, compared to *coff* ~North~ Macedonia  |

Besides the issue might not seem big for foreigners but internally it definitely is. |
