Politically Correct Alphabetization

Erik and I were looking up pricing to see how much extra it would cost to have a package sent to the Netherlands. We were really surprised to see that the site wouldn't ship to the Netherlands at all!

I mean, come on. Netherlands Antilles but not the Netherlands?

Then I said, "Hey, try Holland." So we looked under "h."

There it is! But it's not "Holland," because to say "Holland" isn't politically correct. So, the Netherlands but in the alphabetical list where "Holland" belongs. Because that makes sense. :)

I know I'm late to the party, but I think you're supposed to say Dutchland.
