[Literature] Nederland teacher resigns over raunchy poem

We pronounce it Netherlands.

 

Really? So you write the Dutch name but say the English name?

I thought it would be like Fred Hoiberg's name, you say hoiberg, and not haystack (Dutch word is actually Hooiberg, but still)

 

He's jacking with you. It's Need-er-lund.

 

Ok thanks. I expected something like that. That is pretty similar to how you should pronounce it.

 

Neederland is how most pronounce it.

Our farm labor was imported for most of our history, no reason our town names wouldn't be either.

 

So wait it's

- erland?

or

-er land?

 

That poem is beautiful.

 

I pronounce it Netherregions... after that poem.
