@rauschma Call it a personal defect.

I do remember that it's the "official" name for the language but I'd have to look that up to be sure.

In "Dutch" it's called "Nederlands". Wikipedia seems to call it "Dutch" as well; disappointing.

The typically English term "Dutch" seems a derivative from "Deutsch" (German) and most other references (like "Pennsylvania Dutch") are more related to Deutsch than to Nederlands.

Edit: a character.
