Dutch Language
A few points on some Dutch language rules. Let's do
a test. Read out loud "George W. Bush jr." You said: george w bush junior. You
automatically pronouced jr in full. It's the same in Dutch, as well as a few other
abreviations e.g. Jan Davidsz de Heem. It means and
is pronounced as "Jan David's zoon de Heem" (the son of David
de Heem). Therefore, each time when you see ...sz behind a middle or last name
you pronounce it [middle name or last name]'s zoon. Pronouced SOHN,
