Dat doet mij denken aan iemands bijdrage aan Lowlands-L van enkele jaren
geleden; de persoon schreef jou aan met 'Ron Haan', en jouw reactie was niet
alleen maar een correctie, maar je toonde je ook nogal blij dat iemand jouw
achternaam met zo'n cht Laaglandse spelling (dubbel 'a') tooide. Dat vond
ik erg grappig.

Grtoeten, Marcel.

Marcel,

"Grappig"?!  Hoekom dit verbaas jy dat *ek* meer hou van die *Laaglandse*
spelling van my naam -- die spelling wat my met baie naamgenote in
Nederland, België en Suid-Afrika verbind -- dan die "verduitste" spelling?
Terloops, sommige Noordduitse naamgenote spel hul naam ook "Haan".

Ja, ek gebruik dikwels 'n "verduitste" spelling as ek Nedersaksies
(Nederduits, Platduits) skryf, maar dat doen ek teësinnig, hou meer van
spellings wat in die Laaglandse tradisie is (sonder _Dehnungs-H_, dus _Haan_
in plaas van _Hahn_).

Groete,
Reinhard/Ron
