Did you like the "adult content" warning as you entered the site? It's kind of annoying.
Today I want to talk about the word "hereby". For some reason, the Dutch use it often. Like VERY often. Here are some examples:
1. (email from PIM, which is a card so that some stuff is free in Maastricht)
Dear pimmer,
Hereby you receive the
weekly summary of
pim-activities until
Wednesday 14th of April.
2. (email from the racist prof)
Hello all,
As promised, I hereby confirm the exact chapters from Zimmermann's book Heidegger's Confrontation with Modernity.
Indeed, the chapters 6 and 7 are about Heidegger's connection to Juenger and how he appropriated Juenger's thought, also into his later ideas about technology.
See you on Tuesday.
etc etc. I have nothing against the word hereby. But I don't think I've ever heard it used before Maas.
Peace.
