Translation: "May I say something in my own language?"
Liever niet. Er zijn slechts 3 andere detectives die de Nederlandse taal spreken. Het is dus onhandig om van de Sleuth voertaal af te wijken. Zo niet onbeschoft.
Translation: Rather not. There are only 3 other detectives that speak the Dutch language. It is therefor not handy to use any other language then Sleuths commonly used language. If not that, it is rude.

I'm sorry if I've offended anybody. It wasn't my intention at all. By the way jstkdn from which part of Holland or Belgium are you?
P.S. Happy Newyear and success with solving your cases.

No prob B.A., I don't think you have. They most likely thought you were clearing your throat or something. :)
I wasn't sure if you were asking the question if it was OK to speak in other language on the message board, or you simply wanted to chat in a language few people speak. We have had a few people purposely speaking foreign languages to exlude or offend others. Your question obviously wasn't offensive.
I am from the Zaanstreek, near Amsterdam. You?

I was originally from Antwerp, Belgium, but live in the city of Gent now since 1998.

I could see you're a moderator. Does that mean you still live in Holland or did you move to the Big Apple?

All the moderators work out of their own home. Jstkdn is still in Holland.

Or what I should say is that we are not required to move anywhere.

Come on, cfm, don't destroy our mystique! Wherever there is a computer with internet access, we are THERE!
Also, I am about to do something as a mod right now...move this thread to Gumshoe!

Gent is a really nice place. Belgian people know what the definition of good food (and beer) is. Except you guys are really annoying for always winning Dutch language related quizes on TV, it makes us look dumb. :)
Darn Moon, you are making me look incompetent. The one job we actually do, I actually failed to do. Yes I will shamefully admit i forgot to move the message from sleutchat to gumshoe. *hangs her head in shame*
