In Belgium, we just say 'chatroom', but some Dutchmen have the urge to
keep their language 'pure'. I guess this is the case.

Afrikaans is somewhat related to Dutch. I've been told our West Flanders

It's one of the 'features' I immediately turn off after installing Fx.
I've got the same problem with YouTube. My OS is in English UK, but
