En réponse à Daniel Ryan Prohaska :


>Thanks a lot.
You're welcome :)) . And enjoy it: I only ever make compliments when I really think they are deserved :) .
>A'm dooin' awrigh', A fink.
Hehe, We have a celebrity among the listmembers :)) .
>Her name seems to be Frisian.
It could be, but it could also be from Brabant (strangely enough, there are strange parallels between Frisian and the Southern dialects of Dutch, like the use of -ke for diminutives and the shape of some last names).

True. But in that case it is well deserved: Simone Kleinsma is not only in all kinds of musicals for quite a few years already, but you see her quite often on TV and she sold quite a few CDs too :)) . As I often say, I don't use a word when I don't mean it ;))) (and I've noticed that in the Netherlands the term "ster" is not so often used as in other countries. The Dutch like simple people, so to get a star status you must really have worked hard. Unfortunately, with the avalanche of Joop van den Ende musicals, the term "musical star" is becoming overused too here :((( ).
> I hate >being called a musical star, although it's happened on occasion. I'm a >singer and an actor - that's it!
Funny how unknown people often desire to be called stars one day, while most people who receive that title don't like it :))) . Christophe Grandsire. http://rainbow.conlang.free.fr You need a straight mind to invent a twisted conlang.
