In the Netherlands , 18% of the population can’t properly read (functioneel analfabeet).

Yeah I didn’t believe that either first time I read that.

That's normal in duch. Everything they say sounds like a drunken Brit trying to poke fun of the German language. It's just impossible not to love it.

They also love to work with sounds a lot:
Fiets=Bike Bromfiets=Motorbike
Schuim=Foam Piepschuim=Styrofoam
