Well, the number of sources that say A is not relevant, since if ten times
as many sources say B, then I think B is "more true" than A. I know three
sources who say [x] is standard: Irina, Jan and me (and my mother, who
happens to have a degree in Dutch langfuage and literature and she teaches
Dutch).

Slowly? What do you mean slowly? We spread like vermin! But I agree the
world would be the better for it... of not, I would have migrated long time
ago.
