Bedankt, Rick, voor je reaktie!

>With living in Holland i do  presume that you mean one of the provinces
>Holland .
yes, indeed. I was more or less even referring to the Randstad. I do realize
that the attitudes are quite different in the eastern parts of the
Netherlands.

>Flemish is not for all Dutch people easy to follow. For us Notherners for
>instance..
Sure, but what I had in mind was not Flemish but standard Dutch as spoken in
Belgium, i.e. with hardly a difference to ABN of the Netherlands. If you
forget about few expressions (like 'hesp' vs 'ham' etc. or 'vast en zeker'
vs
'zeker en vast') the remaining difference is mainly the melody of the
parole.
The subtitling such texts, as I believe, is therefore not (only) triggered
by
a potential lack of understanding in Holland AND Drenthe but by other
considerations.
