Beste Ron, </span></p>

Randstad but spend time there and are frustrated with people answering in
English, go out wearing a lapel pin that says something like the following:<br>
<br>
for Achterhoeks: "Ig praot wal Hollaands, moar met 'n moier accent dan
gij."<br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="NL">for Antwerpens: "Ikke spreek wel Nederlands, mòr mè

<br>
for Brussels: "Ik praat wel Nederlands, maar met nen moier accent dan
gaa."<br>
<br>
for Drents: "Ik sprèek wel Ollaands, maor met n mooier accent dan
ie."<br>
<br>
for Flemish: "Ik klap wel Nederlands, maar mit een pleizantere accent dan
gij."<br>
<br>
for Gronings: "Ik praot wel Hollaands, moar mit n moier accent dan
doe."<br>
<br>
for Haags: "Ik praat wel Nedeâhrlands, maar met un moieâhr accent dan
jè."<br>
<br>
For Twents: "Ik spreke wa Hollaands, moar met nen moier accent dan
doe."</span></span></p>

for Zealandic: "k Spreêk wel Ollans, maer mee eên schoôner accent dan

<br>
And so forth ...</span></p>

</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">If any of
this is correct, that is.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">I know
you're joking...but still, bear in mind that some people hàd to wear pins or
other visible signs in the past to mark their identity. I can do without a
secondhand "pasjeswet", this is too confronting for me. I don't want
to have a language or race written in my passport, no matter how useful it
could be.</span></p>

Wo, wo, wo, Luc! </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Yes, I
