Actually, it makes a huge difference, as it determines what kind of activities you can do with peopl, and what ages you can legally do stuff (hence why I couldn't go and hang with a girl in the snow, as there is none here.... we call it water too) fubol, don't be too worried, I like a girl who has a very conservative mother, who reads her convos, and uses her MSN and MySpace pretending to be her (also the girl isn't on much, only get to see her once a week) Another difference, stuff like 'hey, how are you?' sounds really silly in Dutch. Advice usually sounds really good on here but in Dutch it just doesn't really work out :P
