dutch really sounds like 'knor, knor'


Thanks, Charlie. (I always imagined it would sound very harsh and guttural to foreigners because of the "hard G")

Anyway, I'm not a native speaker of English, my first language is Dutch. Although a lot of what I do for a living involves English in one way or another, it's usually receptive, such as reading research papers or listening to talks. I should probably work on my expressive skills in English.
'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.'

'The question is,' said Alice, 'whether you can make words mean so many different things.'

'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master — that's all.'
