What if I'm offended? Do I have any rights on these boards?

No you don't because you violate other member's rights as well. Case closed.
Move on children.

No, I know Holland much better than you do, you're wrong. KTHXBAI

We in Poland say "Holland" also. :p

Yeah I heard Holland refers to a certain part of the Netherlands, perhaps the natives only refer to this? The rest of us ignorants refer to Holland as being the same as the Netherlands.

for a while i thought dutch was deutch, misspellt.

That is correct. We ourselves call our country 'Nederland', literally 'low land'. The English name for our country is actually (incorrectly, I might add) plural. I'm guessing that is a remainder of our historic republic, the Republic of Seven United Netherlands, which was a union of seven provinces. I guess the name just stuck. Holland was one of those provinces. Nowadays there are two of them, to spread out economic importance more over all the provinces. A united Holland would be too powerful, economically, in comparison to the rest of the country. So, in short, Holland is a part of the Netherlands.
