Skratka, Dutch danes res pomeni samo Nizozemce, v časih Brezglavega jezdeca pa so bili to, vsaj za Američane, očitno kar Nemci na splošno. Prevajalcu bi torej enkrat za spremembo morali kvečjemu čestitati. (Nikolaj)

odgovor

Kapo dol pred Nikolajem in seveda pred prevajalcem/ko, če je prevajal/a res tako, kot pravi Nikolaj. (Dalibor Jovanović)
