@vivify saidYou... really are astoundingly, Metal-Brain-level ignorant about the Netherlands. So is the WP "journalist" - probably more correctly, "intern" - who wrote that "article".

Really. Come on. You should do better.
@shallow-blue saidWho to believe? A trained reporter vetted by a globally-respected news organization...or a what's-his-face wishing he could post like Zahlanzi.

And what’s more, at a quick glance it seems to be quite objective.
How strange.
For Vivify’s sake, what triggered me was the name. The country is called “The Netherlands”. Plural.
So any news page would normally be called the same. To drop the S is absurd.
It would be like calling a Scottish news site: “The Cotland Times”.

@soothfast saidOn their site they do refer to it as the Netherland Times.

It seems to be called the NL Times, officially.
Sort of like the Wahington Post…

I think leaving out the "S" gives the title more of a punch. Try saying "Netherlands Times", it's a bit awkward....doesn't flow as well. Maybe two words back-to-back with "S" sounds at the end just don't go well.
