    Quiet Bekkers!

    I aint gonna start arguing the finer points of an ugly,
    back-to-front language like Dutch.
    Just look at what the Seth Arfkans did to it!

    Most languages look like that from an English-speaking point
    of view. :-)

    I haven't lived in Holland for 10 years and my Dutch wsn't
    all that great to begin with, but my understanding is that
    in general the Dutch simple present tense follows the same
    grammatical format as in English, in which case, since
    "heel" modifies "moeilijk", they should be adjacent. It's
    not like it was any form of past or future tense where Dutch
    gets all Germanic and starts whacking infinitive verb forms
    at the far end of clauses for no good reason. Then again I
    could be completely wrong.
