This is like one of our cats

Our other cat is much better at communication – she calls for attention, then guides us to the place where she wants us to do something (open a door, fill the food cups, or give scratches)

Most of us Dutchies are more or less fluent in English (over 90% of the population), and yes, many will switch to English quickly, even if you start the conversation in Dutch but are not a native speaker.

German and Dutch are closely related, but most Dutch people are not fluent in German — speaking German here is usually limited to “hallo, wie geht’s?” and ordering meals or drinks.

The Netherlands is generally very LGBTQ positive, but exceptions exist.

Immigration depends on where you’re from and if you have a job here. Visiting as a tourist is easy if you are already living in Germany - just remember to bring your passport (often it’s not checked, but there are exceptions). We love friendly tourists!

Hokkaido is also a type of ice cream. Apparently available elsewhere, too. The rest of the text is chinese (at least, deepl recognizes it as such)

webp is not fully supported by safari and webview on iOS; they cannot export images as image/webp using the toDataUrl or toBlob from a canvas element

Middle name is not a thing where I live. People can have 1 or more given names (I know of people that have 9), but none of these are considered ‘middle name’.

totally unrelated time in the screenshot, I’m sure

How was this handled in the age of typewriters?

How on earth did English typography get so weird with mdash, ndash, dash, hyphen, etcetera while most of the readers have no clue about the the differences. IMHO, just use dash.

Can you explain me how the different lengths of dash add to the understanding of the text, when I usually don’t even see the difference on my mobile phone screen?

There’s at least one Kidney Lake

Same in Dutch: aardappel (aard=earth, appel=apple)

You are wrong, till is perfectly fine – and so is til. See Merriam-Websters article about this, at https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/should-you-use-until-or-till-or-til
