NYCat Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 The new homepage makes me sick to my stomach with the movement, quick changes, etc. I really cannot look at it. I know I am a very special person but I wonder if clients are having the same problem. Paulette 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i have to agree that the quick change feels odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Mitchell Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 (edited) The quick turnover just makes viewers dizzy. Lingering for even a couple of seconds longer on each video clip would have made the montage -- which is good otherwise -- more engaging and effective IMHO.

Phil Robinson Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 And a practical problem - I tried to log in yesterday on a train with an awful broadband connection.

Gorilla Dave Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 ...with a new contract designed to drive away suppliers, and a new front screen designed to drive away customers, maybe this is all part of what the board think of as an “innovative and disruptive strategy” ?

NYCat Posted July 15, 2021 Author Share Posted July 15, 2021 I keep checking to see if they have changed it but they have not. I have a work-around so I can search without throwing up or fainting but I honestly don't understand how someone can work from that screen. I'm not kidding when I say it is unbearable to me.

Ed Rooney Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Wim, I'm trying to gather some European slang. How do you say 'nah' in Dutch? In Scouse you say 'gghettys' or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know the Germans nowadays have Jein which is yes and no in one word? Who said they have no humor? The G is usually pronounced somewhere in the throat as it's a guttural. How far back depends on the dialect. Some even have a guttural R. This video demonstrates A-H. And if you listen closely a totally opposite R can be heard: the Gooise R. Explanatory video here. Foreigners discussing the G on the same channel. The whole alphabet, again on this channel. And if you're desperate for a phrase book: Amazon There have been more recent editions, but I'm partial to this one. Why? Cover image here. 😁 wim edit 2: in the videos, switch on CC.

Ed Rooney Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Bedankt, Wim. You may know a few, but I've never encounter a Netherlander who didn't speak English. I wish that was true of the Spanish. Van Beethoven is a Dutch name a German friend told me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiskerke Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 5 hours ago, Ed Rooney said: Van Beethoven is a Dutch name a German friend told me. True. Otherwise it would have been Von. I used to know where he (or rather his father) came from. The same with Karl Marx. I think his wife was Dutch. Hmm.. Ludwig Van was of Belgian descent, Wikipedia tells me. I knew they had lived in Bonn before going to Vienna. Marx went to the university in Bonn, but by then Beethoven had died in Vienna. Ahh it was Karls' mother who was Dutch. Not Jenny, his wife. I have no image of Beethoven. I do have Bach and Marx, both as a statue. We walked Beethoven's favorite walk though, after visiting his lovely house in Vienna. Where you can hear/feel how he would have heard his own music over time while going deaf. A sobering experience. No images of that, nor of the walk. At least not on Alamy. wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit to the north of you, they have the same g/ch: video 1. Could there be some truth in that the Scots are actually Dutch who came swimming across the North Sea? They went swimming because they were too stingy to pay for the ferry. 😂 Stingy = gierig in Dutch with 2 of those. A different take on where the Scottish G/CH comes from in this short video. Oops . wim Edited July 21, 2021 by wiskerke pronunciation of gierig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
