But if we all start talking dutch or french we'll miss out on the
other half of Belgium, I think it's only fair to meet halfway.
Personally, I'm a favourite of using all three languages on this

have no problem with that, after all, it's only a reflection of what
Belgium is.<br>

It's a difficult problem to solve.<br>
