Thanks for sharing. Here is your html-code:

Why are you reporting this puzzle?

Note: Vermeer painted reflection, as you can see in her eyes, mouth and teeth.
The girl has no pearl at all, you can see a reflection of the light and of her collar. Because it is painted perfectly, it takes on the shape of a pearl, but it is actually an optical illusion.

Dear Janet, you can always learn something here. Anyway, I have already learnt a lot. Now I just need to remember it ;-)) ♥

Ik vermoedde al dat jouw opmerking gericht was op het taalgebruik, maar voor Jigidi-ers die niet afkomstig zijn uit de 'Lage Landen' kan het inderdaad een verkeerd beeld opleveren. ;-))

Beste Nachtwacht: in België worden er drie talen gesproken: Duits in de Oostkantons, Frans in Wallonië en Nederlands in Vlaanderen.
Ik woon in Vlaanderen, het Nederlandstalig gedeelte van België.
Maar je hebt gelijk: het kan voor verwarring zorgen. Dank je voor de opmerking.

Ik snap iets niet: Je meldt in jouw profiel: "I'm living near Ghent, the Dutch part of Belgium."
Sinds wanneer is Gent een deel van Nederland?
