In Jan Stroop, "Poldernederlands", 1998, Amsterdam, Uitgeverij Bert Bakker,
ISBN 90-351-2033-7, 120 pp.;
--- quote  p.11:
.. vinden we ook andere veranderingen in het gesproken Nederlands terug in
het rapport van de commissie Bolkestein....de afgekeurde veranderingen
hebben zich toch doorgezet. Voorbeeld is de dikwijls "Amsterdams" genoemde
gewoonte om geen onderscheid te maken tussen s/z, f/v, ch/g... Dat
onderscheid bestaat in het algemeen Nederlands tegenwoordig nauwelijks meer
en bijna niemand lijkt er zich aan te storen..

The distinction is still __very clear__ in "Belgian Dutch", as stated in an
earlier message.

Regards,
Roger
