"You cannot read this"

That's a little presumptuous, don't you think? I can read it, as can many other people who have commented. Don't assume no one here can understand Dutch or any other language for that matter.

You're totally right. It was a little presumptuous. You know the saying: "Assumption is the mother of all..."? From an autistic, mathematical point of view you are right, but if I look into the stats of my Google Analytics, I see less then 4.1% Dutch. If I take into account that especially Dutch people would click on a link ending with .nl, I think I may assume the percentage of Dutch HN readers is even low.

What I meant of course is: most of the people cannot read it. So, lets trigger them to judge the design, just by its design. This gave me a lot of new insights I want to thank everyone for :)

I'm German and I know that most germans could read this. :) It's funny how similar Dutch and German are.
