Well, I wanted to come up with something suitably inflammatory to cause a flamewar, but I’ve been busy. Also, since Karl is technically correct, the analogy is still sound. Replace windmills with good beer, etc.

Maybe he’s off consulting the Amish?

Woah, it’s been 23 hours since I posted my correction and Carl hasn’t come in to say there are in fact some people of Netherlands-Dutch decent in Pennsylvania. I hope he’s not sick or anything…

I thought that was the case with “Dutch” in PA, but I wasn’t sure and didn’t have the time to check.

Umm, actually the “Dutch” in Pennsylvania are primarily people of German decent. “Dutch” in this case is a corruption of “Deutsch.” And yes, I do have Pennsylvania Dutch (German) relatives.

Yeah, there are a bunch of Dutch people in Pennsylvania, too. But they don’t wear clogs, open hash bars, or build windmills.

Actually there is a pretty big population of people of Scottish descent in parts of Canada.
