Belgian not Belgium!

[Hopinista]

I'm sure I'm going to get a lot of "Well, actually..."s and flames but,

As someone who was born in, and spent the first 10 years of their life in Belgium, it's really annoying when people say/type "Belgium ale."

I wouldn't tell someone "I'm Belgium." Just as Americans wouldn't say "I'm America! Try this great Germany beer!"

That is all.

Drives me crazy too.

By the way it's spelled 'merica

 

[masonsjax]

Well actually... It's spelled 'Murica.

This is funny. There have been a few threads on this lately. It completely confounds me why so many people on here will use Belgium, but still say German, English, American, etc.

Seems to be a lot of sandy vaginas here.

 

[flars]

Do people who use auto correct forget to add Belgian to their dictionary?

 

[Yooper]

Poor grammar always drives me crazy, doncha know?

 

[betarhoalphadelta]

It's probably similar to when someone from, say, Britain, refers to an American southerner as a "Yank"...

Not at all. That's a slang term. Belgium vs. Belgian is a grammatical issue.

I'm not sure everyone knows Belgium is a country

I enjoy a good Germany Kolsch. Maybe we should start calling IPA's an Indian Pale ale. Or Czech pilsner Czechs pilsners.

I look forward to my upcoming trip to German where I will drink many traditional Germany beers.
