First, I am sorry for not posting so much. Thanks for all the corrections, don&#8217;t get mad, just tell me, I can take it and I will correct it.
(And to the &#8216;person&#8217; who voted for the Dutch extreme right party in the last election and thinks they are justified in threatening me here or anybody [...]]]></description>

I know this video was made with enthusiasm, Alex, it was a good video. Finally having the world&#8217;s biggest passenger plane, an Airbus A380, land at Schiphol airport is a big deal in aviation. However, you really need to brush up on your English and ideally your pronunciation. The first bit of music was very [...]]]></description>

Darn those pesky hour notations! 
1. We don&#8217;t use &#8216;th&#8217; for dates in this context, and repeating April is useless.
2. We don&#8217;t put 0 in front of hours (8:30)
3. Nobody uses &#8216;hrs&#8217; in English.
4.&#8217;16.00&#8242; is not the evening, it&#8217;s still afternoon, beer or no beer in hand.
5. Yes, British English do sometimes use one &#8216;full [...]]]></description>

This parody is full of Dutchisms, Dunglish and clichés.
The scary part is I know some people who talk like this and are not doing stand-up comedy.
Enjoy!
(Thanks: Marie!)

Yes, we know what they are trying to say, but the Dunglish doesn&#8217;t even come close to the Dutch original. First, I want to address the language problem, then the big honking cultural problem.
The Dutch roughly says, &#8216;Do you do it like this at home, too?&#8217; and then the message is lost in translation, never [...]]]></description>

The song is a nicely performed rock and roll number by Marc Verhaegen and his orchestra (band), but with a totally Dunglish title: &#8216;I Feel Me a King&#8217;, a direct translation of &#8216;Ik voel mij een koning&#8217;, which should be &#8216;I Feel Like a King&#8217;.
Let the record show (pun) that his accent is pretty darn [...]]]></description>

American musician John Mayer was a guest on De Wereld Draait Door this week, an upbeat, trendy Dutch talk show. I know from very reliable sources that the show tends to avoid inviting non-Dutch speaking guests unless they are tennis star André Agassi (a few weeks ago) and in this case, the handsome John Meyer.

It&#8217;s been a while, but I&#8217;m back.
The site of the city of Wageningen is written in whatever English. They surely have the money and time to do it right, but obviously don&#8217;t care. Does it matter? Well, it&#8217;s a crappy way to promote your city if you care this little [...]]]></description>

In the category &#8216;why use proper Dutch when bastard English will do&#8217;, I dare you to try and guess from the logo what these people sell if you didn&#8217;t see this advert on telly like I did.

I really like the street wisdom of Loesje that adorns Dutch cities with posters of witty wisdom in Dutch and every now and again in English. However, their English is very often Dunglish, maybe even on purpose, but I have a feeling that they don&#8217;t realize their English is wrong. I can imagine this adds [...]]]></description>
