Cornelisse zegt af en toe rake dingen over taalgebruik in Nederland. Grappige rare dingen. Maar tegelijkertijd draagt ze zo'n dosis self-loathing uit, dat je na het lezen van het boek een hekel hebt aan de schrijver, aan alle andere nederland-sprekende mensen, en vooral aan jezelf.

READ IN DUTCH

Deze leek mij van tevoren heel erg leuk. Ik had al verschillende stukjes gehoord van andere mensen of op televisie en die vond ik wel goed gevonden, dus wilde ik graag het hele boekje lezen.

Helaas vond ik het niet allemaal even goed. Toegegeven, waarschijnlijk is het beter wanneer je niet alles direct achter elkaar leest, zo'n soort boek is het wel. Maar ik merkte dat er gewoon ook vrij veel 'fouten' in stonden die ik wel erg muggenzifterig vond (er is vast ook iets mis met dat woord). Bij tijd en wijlen wel heel erg leuk, soms wat flauw. ( )

I think it is a shame that only people who master Dutch are able to read this book.

It is a book about Dutch and the way it is used in every day life. With all its weirdness and strange rules that you're not aware of untill someone makes you aware of them. The way people say things and mean completely the opposite, the way that sayings are of all times, but all times have different sayings.

The writer is my age and maybe that is one of the reasons that for me the content of this book is so very recognizable and funny.

And, what comes to mind: when we have such a book here, about language and the way people use it, why shouldn't other languages / countries have such a book?
When you do, please recommend it... I mean, when it is in a readable language for me: German, English, Russian. I'd love to see if I can make anything out of it :) ( )

Wat een 'onwijs gaaf' boek is dit toch 'eigenlijk'. Er wordt je als Nederlander 'zeg maar' steeds een spiegel voorgehouden en nadat je het boek uit hebt gelezen, durf je 'zeg maar''eigenlijk' niets meer te zeggen 'hè'? En, 'als ik even heel eerlijk ben...', dat is 'echt zooo Nederlands!' ( )

Book about language trends in Dutch. Hilarious, if you read Dutch. ( )
