I mean, if we're going down that road, might as well go one step back and ask how the Dutch fellow's understanding of Indian culture is. In any case, these are things you learn once. After that, the better you are at navigating the differences, the more successful you'll be. After all, it's low probability that you'll reform (in your mind) another culture and high probability that you can improve your ability to win. So might as well chase the win by modifying the self every time.

Learning a language is hard. This whole thread is the differences between nations who speak the same language. If they can't agree what chance has a non native got? As a native English speaker I appreciate that I don't need to learn another language. But on the other hand, the language has also become the worlds language, so its about as fair criticising the Dutch for sentence construction, as it is for criticising Australians for making everything into a question?
