    Unless the message you're trying to send to us that you are a space cadet, losing your train of thought every few seconds I would recommend that you stop with the random ellipses. Frankly, it's distracting to your reader.

    I'm currently studying German and French, but I'll drop French as soon as possible.

    Best sounding? Has to be German.

    When you're Dutch, German is infinitely more useful than French.

    Like our former socialist prime minister Joop den Uyl once said: "We are a country of undertakers!"

    After Den Uyl's death in 1987. He became pretty much the icon of the good old times of his party. When party leaders actually lead their party. But who knows what'll happen...

    Edit: Although the Dutch social democrats were more radical during Den Uyl's time as party leader. At least he had his ideals...

    Meh. Key aspect of capitalism is: The rich are very rich, the poor are very poor. Now, I can't find a Lorenz-curve of the Netherlands, but I'm almost certain that ours is more straight than the US' one.
