aldo-vallon - August 19, 2018
I do not mean to brag, but I was quite the speller back in my schooldays. One year I even almost won my school’s spelling bee, for my grade, in my specific class.
Ok, so it doesn’t sound that impressive when I lay it out like that, but believe me, it granted me plenty of bragging rights. See, the person I lost to was Gopal Patel, the man who won the entire contest. So it is easy to see that it kind of makes me the runner-up. Of course you have to be completely deluded with regret in order to come to that conclusion, but fortunately I am.
Now, the reason I bring that up is because if I was to hear the name Sigrid ten Napel spoken aloud I would have no clue how to spell it. Those Dutch really know how to make life difficult for the rest of us. I suppose it could be worse. It is not like I am trying to pronounce something in Finnish.
But being the gracious man that I am, I will offer up my gratitude to the Netherlands for providing us with Sigrid. She has a rump on her that should be shared with the world.
