Aangesien ek nie 'n gebore Afrikaner is nie, kan ek nie met die grootste
gesag kommentaar lewer oor André se vrae nie. Maar, hier is 'n paar
gedagtes:

Wat van: "Boer Flags in the Boer Wars" ("Boerevlae in die Boere-oorloë")

Sover my kennis strek, is "Boere" die Afrikaanse en "Boers" die Engelse
meervoud van "Boer".

Groetnis
