Long time no see! aka I hereby update my blog.

Hello children!

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.
