       The province I live in is called ‘Overijssel’ which is presumably something like ‘over the IJssel’ where the IJssel is a river

       @stux Not for doxxing, but I do enjoy zooming in a little closer to see where other users here live! It feels like I can afford this kind of tourism. 😁

       @stux we took a rideshare to the airport when we were moving here from the states. We told the driver we were moving to The Netherlands… which he was sure was in the UK for some reason 🤣 🤦‍♂️

       @stux Was at some point in history common to use Holland to refer to the whole country by the Dutch themselves? I recall having read some piece of news about the Dutch government changing the name in communications, but maybe it only referred to English media.

       @stux I keep explaining to folks that I am 100% Dutch (well, actually it's only 92 % due to a great grandfather from Quakenbrück, Lower Saxony) but only a 30% Hollander at the very maximum. Because with my family there are two stronger factors, one being Friesland and the other Zeeland.
