They couldn't be bothered to proofread the letter. It's somewhat disrespectful
Clearly English isn't the first language of the writer. How disrespectful to invite members of the community to his funeral services indeed.
So being Dutch means you can't use spellcheck or get someone else to double-check? My native language is Afrikaans, which is 95% Dutch, but my social media posts are still more thorough than this announcement
This isn't a tweet. It's announcing someone's death
Or they don't speak English very well because they're Dutch
In my experience, Dutch speak better English than most people from the US.
Good grief
