Ah. I'm from Huddersfield originally, but I don't sound much like it. My Yorkshireness is discernible to the conoisseur of accents but it's been cruelly battered by my sojourns in Shropshire, Paris, Cambridge and America.

Considering Belgium (or Holland) doesn't technically border the Atlantic ocean, mixing up it and the Pacific ocean might be excused. However, if a Dutchman was unable to point out Overijssel that'd be a failure of the primary school system, since that's where they really drill geography. History is the responsibility of middle school. So, technically, the spokesman is right: the college didn't screw up the students' education (yet). But being technically right isn't an excuse for being so tactless: what they should have said "Oh jeez, that's pretty bad, we should probably do something about that, maybe take admission exams or something." Now they're just pointing fingers, like a parent blaming the brightly coloured wrappers and hyperactive commercials for the fact their child is stuffing their face with candy.
So what is the study/college in question? Just so I know not to go near it.

Especially America. ;)

I have simply given up and accepted that the word "stroller" has become a permanent part of my vocabulary.

I googled it, and to my surprise (I really shouldn't be surprised, it is the internet after all) I found a fanfic. Pinkie pie is a sleeper agent sent to grind up all the other ponies into glue.
It is fuckin' hilarious. :mrgreen:
