Talk:Hoek van Holland

Hoek

Hi there - "Hoek" actually means "corner" in Dutch, so the "Hook of Holland" phrase is incorrect. "Corner of Holland" is correct. Hope that helps :) JessicaT 14:21, 8 May 2008 (EDT)

Jessica, thank you. I do give the literal translation (corner), but Hook of Holland is the accepted English version of the name. Best wishes, Bugler 14:24, 8 May 2008 (EDT)

Ah - that I didn't know - learn something new everyday. Sorry for the misunderstanding. JessicaT 14:28, 8 May 2008 (EDT)
