    Kont is also not the most used, nicest way of saying it. “Billen” is a better match.

    I do blame the “why is it so different from English” on “Het Nederlands taalgenootschap”, that was an organization that decided that a lot of Dutchified English would be changed to more Dutch terms. So is “Math” changed into “Wiskunde/Rekenen”.

    It used to work at least here in the Netherlands, when you send a sms to a landline, the phone company has a tts service that reads texts like: “incoming text from zero six one… (etc) with the following text: ok boomer” and repeating that twice.

    Used to be a really mechanical voice, but I’ve not had a landline in at least ten years.
