Funniest language error of 2020: We ride our rabbit in our own kitchen

A look at the top 10 shows that the list is full of errors about corona. For example, at number two is a headline of NU.nl: "Mayors: 'We perform at illegal parties'". The top 3 ends with a sign above a hand gel pump: "Please satanise your hand here".

"Corona has just been big news", says Vellah Bogle, co-founder of Taalvoutjes. "The language errors are of course a reflection of the era, we have received many corona errors throughout the year. Apart from all the errors from supermarkets and restaurants, we also received many errors from the media. It's also nice that you can laugh at something so miserable. . "
Is it a pity that no corona error has won this year? "The audience has spoken and the difference was very big; the winner got 682 votes, number two got 252. Perhaps people are also coronamoe."
The language error election has been held since 2013. Last year, a warning sign that warned against quicksand in several languages, but read in German: Herzlich Wilkommen, or "Warm Welcome", won.
The top 10 language errors in 2020 :
On a sign from a restaurant: " We ride our rabbit in our own kitchen "
The headline of an article from NU.nl: " Mayors: 'We perform at illegal parties '"
On a sign above a hand gel pump: " Please satanise your hands here "
A note on the window of a shop: " Unfortunately. We are closed. We are closet. Wir sint gesloßen ."
A headline from the Flevopost newspaper: " An animal that was killed by Luttelgeest is almost certainly dead ."
A rectification from a hospital: "I n the previous update it was stated that you had to stay at home when you have a cold. This is not correct, this only applies to colleagues from Brabant. If you live in a normal province you can just come to work ."
A note on the window of a restaurant: " We are open. Also to take me ."
An ad from people looking for a dog: " We're looking for a labradoodle mini to finish the family!"
A supermarket mistake: " Put your cart in the one in front of you "
The list ends with a sign from a supermarket, stating that people are obliged to use a basket or shopping cart: " Mandatory. Money for every visitor "

It will be a busy affair in Happy Hour -> calling birthday people, discussing politics with Lourens Portasse, playing good music and oh yes, "Happy with the Bieb aan den IJssel". Ellen Bommeljé obviously knows facts about the library and she will discuss the book "Lighter than me" from 2020 by Dido Michielsen . Dido Michielsen (Amersfoort 1957) is a Dutch writer. She has written several non-fiction books, including biographical works. Her debut novel 'Lichter dan ik' was published in 2019. Michielsen won the Dutch Book Trade Prize in 2020. Michielsen descends from a njai, the concubine of a Dutch man in the Indies. She is married to Auke Kok and has two Chinese daughters.

Municipalities support National Moluccan Monument

This year it will be 70 years ago that the 1st generation Moluccans were transferred to the Netherlands in 1951 with 12 ship transports. On command, about 4000 Moluccan KNIL soldiers and Navy men came to the Netherlands with their families (in total 12,500 persons). At the point of arrival of the 1st transport ship at the Lloydkade in Rotterdam, it is not yet possible to trace a historical event. The National Moluccan Monument Foundation (LMM) is committed to realizing a monument. The monument will be a tribute to this 1st generation Moluccans and their families and in recognition of the shared past. The monument can also serve to continue telling the story of the arrival of Moluccans in the Netherlands to current and future generations. For anyone interested in this history, the foundation wants to offer an opportunity to learn more. They believe that more knowledge of each other's past leads to more understanding. To realize a monument, the LMM foundation has entered into a p

Largest water lily in the world blooms in Leiden

The oldest botanical garden in the Netherlands, the Hortus Botanicus in Leiden, has a wonderful pineapple scent. That means that the Victoria Amazonica is in bloom. With leaves that can grow up to two meters wide, this is the largest water lily in the world and its flowers smell like pineapple. The flower of the Victoria Amazonica is a night bloomer and only blooms in high summer. What is special is that the water lily only blooms for two nights. Rogier de Vugt, cashier of the Leiden Hortus Botanicus, knows everything about the plant. "The first night the flower is white and gives off a strong pineapple smell, which attracts beetles. The second night the flower turns pink and has no smell anymore. The beetles still come to it and are covered with pollen", explains De Vugt. Because the plant has an enormous size, only one can grow in the pond of the Hortus. "The leaves have raised edges, so they can't grow over each other, so they can't get any light anymore. Th
