I have this Netherlands thing sussed now (thanks Wikipedia):

Holland is 2 counties within the Netherlands. So what the English language tends to do by confusing the two is the equivalent of calling the UK 'Yorkshire', because it's a large part of it (and the most important/best bit).* Suck it Londoners!

'Dutch' as a nationality is correct, although 'Netherlanders' can also be used.

You must be new to this site. Sometime in 2008 it was firmly established that he is indeed from Austrialia.

He might have some ancestors in some remote part of very northern south tirol where they also speak German. Hence is definitely germanish, but rather basic German language skills.

Yeah, this fact always trips up new users.

Rol is Australian. The Austrian stuff is all a farce. It is Rol you know.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

When referring to people from the Netherlands, Dutch is perfectly fine. Damn you Dutchmen for not knowing this.

Rol... something with Austria and Australia... Born in A and moved to A or something? I recalled him living in Osterreich. But it seems that the mystery can continue.
