Netherlands or Holland?

forestfcfan · 07-11-2009, 11:38 AM

What do you call it?

CescPistols · 07-11-2009, 11:43 AM

Netherlands.
Holland is just 1 part.

But, yeah, i alternate between them both.

Luxz0rz · 07-11-2009, 11:51 AM

Netherlands is longer......so Holland

Person012345 · 07-11-2009, 11:54 AM

Netherlands, since holland is only a small part in the west.

ayvee1 · 07-11-2009, 12:08 PM

There is North and South Holland, they are two of twelve districts.

Luxz0rz · 07-11-2009, 12:11 PM

and yet.....people still call the whole country Holland, and don't know/care for "the truth"

SPEKZ · 07-11-2009, 12:14 PM

Holland lol

The Netherlands of course, Holland is merely a region.

It's the equivalent of calling England Yorkshire, makes no sense at all.

SG Cesc · 07-11-2009, 12:44 PM

Holland...

chris louie II · 07-11-2009, 12:44 PM

It's so annoying when people call it Holland.

The netherlands as a whole is small

Reading this thread makes me feel ignorant. I've always called it Holland because it is shorter. Never knew the difference, now I do.

Exactly. I can't understand those Dutchmen, therefore they must be speaking gibberish.

The Netherlands sounds like somewhere you dont want to go

Xeneize · 07-11-2009, 07:47 PM

The Hollerlands. Best of both worlds, right there.

My point is I don't care if they have a district called Holland an even smaller part of land then the country itself. It's okay in my books to call them that, it's like so many cities that are called by something important within them...
