Outdent] Thanks,, for taking the trouble to explain your edits: it's an important principle on Wikipedia. Equally important, however, is the one of no original research. You have removed a sourced piece of information (indeed, from the authoritative Oxford English Dictionary) in favor of "as a Dutch speaker I can assure you". This input is helpful, as few of the other editors seem to speak the language, but it cannot justify deleting cited material with which you disagree. I'm removing it  for now. Bring it back, with a published, verifiable source, but let the existing material stand: e.g. other sources, however, assert... or similar. Again, thanks for trying to help out here.
