Hallo Ron,

>"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".

Ek hoop nie jy dink ek skeer die gek met jou voorkeurspelling van
Nedersaksiese vanne nie; inteendeel! Ek waardeer dit wanneer iemand so
konsekwent bewus is van sy kulturele agtergrond. Maar dis net 'snaaks' omdat
die meeste mense taamlik omgekrap is as iemand hul vanne verkeerdelik skryf,
terwyl *jy* dit juis waardeer as jou van volgens die - in daardie geval -
Nederlandse ortografie gespel word.

Groetnis, Marcel Bas (my kort van is glo 'n tipiese voorbeeld van 'n kort,
Noord-Hollandse van; dis glo 'n vorm van Sebastiaan).
