                            My comment was actually a little joke.

                            Seriously, most American's call the Netherlands "Holland"

                            My brother-in-law is Dutch/American and even HE calls the Netherlands "Holland"

                                        Tune in next week, when we'll be talking about fries, and the fact that they are Belgian fries, not French!

                                            I have one

                                            Why is Denmark considered a Nordic country but Finland sometimes isn't ?

                                            Most of Denmark is connected to the main European continent so it really shouldn't be Nordic, right ?

                                                    It is a geographic vs. linguistic issue.

                                                    Geographically, Norway, Sweden, and Finland are considered part of Scandinavia but the word means the Nordic regions which make up the countries Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.
