    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.
