    We as family are now arranging the funeral service of Bram which will take place in The Netherlands and will be held in the Dutch lanuage. The extact date, time and place are still to be determined.

    Hmm.

        They couldn’t be bothered to proofread the letter. It’s somewhat disrespectful

          Clearly English isn’t the first language of the writer. How disrespectful to invite members of the community to his funeral services indeed.

            So being Dutch means you can’t use spellcheck or get someone else to double-check? My native language is Afrikaans, which is 95% Dutch, but my social media posts are still more thorough than this announcement

            This isn’t a tweet. It’s announcing someone’s death

            In my experience, Dutch speak better English than most people from the US.
