Still a long way - Scandinavia and the WorldNot a month goes by without someone confusing Sweden/Switzerland or
Denmark/Netherlands. With Sweden/Switzerland it's because of the names
of the countries, but with Denmark/Netherlands it's because people from
Denmark are called Danish and people from Netherlands are called Dutch.
It's usually Americans who make those mistakes, but the first time I
encountered it in real life was actually in England when I got in the
wrong line to get into the country. I was supposed to stand in the
Europe line but ended up in the Rest of The World line, and one of the
women there could apparently tell something was wrong and asked me, "Are
you Dutch?" I said no and handed her my passport which said Denmark and
she responded with, "That's what I said: Dutch. Why are you lying about
where you're from?" XD
