Why's that a shudder? Are the translations not very good, or is it something inherent in the Dutch language? I know, through living in South Africa, that Afrikaans (based on the Dutch language) never moved on from the days of the early Dutch settlers, and makes Dutch visitors laugh when they read the Afrikaans newspapers, but I thought modern Dutch had developed.
An I'd like to add my best wishes to covingtoncat - good luck!
