What sort of language varieties do you think of when you come across the German
name</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Courier New";">>
<em><span style="font-family: "Courier New";">Platt-Holländisch</span></em> (in
Dutch which would be something like <i>Plat-Nederlands</i>)? Actually,</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Courier New";">>
literally it means <i>Plat-Hollands</i>, which to me makes matters worse, even
though</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span></p>

You're pretty right! What a nonsense-word!</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Courier New";">But
- when I'd talk to any of my older LS-friends in Germany I always should say
"Hollann'sch Platt", without taking care of eytmological or
historical correctness. It <strong><span style="font-family: "Courier New";">IS</span></strong>
the word in spoken LS!</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span></p>
